I heard from a friend that Ray Scott & Daryle Singletary were going to be playing @ Douglas Corner Cafe & I had another show to go to later that night (Drive-By Truckers @ Cannery) & it was also on 8th Ave. ..... so why not double down?!?
As I walk in the entrance, a girl was telling me that the show was free, but they were selling stickers (see picture @ top of this blog) that she was holding. Of course, I bought a couple because of many reasons - I liked the slogan & agree, they got Ray & Daryle to play a free show for them, & I liked the slogan & agree (yeah, that was my main reason, ha). Teresa Farris was onstage as I walked to the bar & I saw Ray in the back by the bar also. After getting a beer, I grabbed a table & got settled in to enjoy the show. Teresa did a couple classic country covers. Ray Scott took the stage next & was introduced by the event organizer Larry "The Rev" Shell.
Ray did a mix of his old & newer songs & seemed to have a pretty good crowd there to see him & they sported their Ray shirts for the event & sang along with all songs.
I've liked Ray Scott & his music from the first time I saw his video for "My Kind of Music". That song is so true & I can relate to it very well. However, I also felt that his whole first album was great. I have his second album, but have not listened to it as much because it didn't grab me like his first one did. With that said, I believe that Ray Scott was a great selection for the first meeting for the movement called Kill Nashville Pop.
Daryle Singletary was another good decision to have perform. Former WSM DJ & Grand Ole Opry announcer Keith Bilbrey introduced Daryle.
Daryle also did mostly classic country covers. Jim Ed Brown joined Dayle onstage for "Pop a Top".
