It’s not often that a concert surprises me these days. I’d hate to count the number of gig hours I’ve clocked writing about music these past twenty years and the truth is, sadly, that shining lights of pure musical wonder become harder and harder to find.
Taking all that into consideration and throwing in the couple of hours driving to Huntsville, Alabama to see a show, it needed to be a pretty good show to knock me off my seat.
But that’s what I got. It was Victoria Shaw and friends. For anyone wondering, Victoria Shaw is one of Nashville’s pre-eminent songwriters, responsible for several number one hits, such as Garth Brooks’ immense, "The River,” and several top notch solo albums.
