MSG Concert Review and Picture

Kellie Pickler, who opened the concert, was dressed in a low-cut red top and knee-high leather boots with spike heels. But she could sound like an old-fashioned country singer, with a North Carolina drawl and some twangy tension in her voice. She did a Dolly Parton impression in “9 to 5,” while alluding to her own career-building appearance on “American Idol” (she didn’t win) by calling Ms. Parton “my definition of an American idol.”

Ms. Pickler’s 2006 album is entitled with her demographic credentials, “Small Town Girl” (BNA). In its songs Ms. Pickler offered minor skirmishes of the sexes — making a guy miss her by going out on the town in “Red High Heels,” dressing casually in “One of the Guys” — and the autobiography of being abandoned by her mother in “I Wonder.” Ms. Pickler has her own power ballads alongside her honky-tonk, and she’s not challenging any Nashville conventions, but at least she’s keeping some down-home charm.

Not bad. And who better to gauge "down-home charm" than the New York Times.

I heard they are never always so sweet with their reviews. They must be impressed.

Don't really know what to make of this review....appreciated the "charm" remark and the recognition of Kellie's work along with the "power ballads" she recorded on STG.

Pretty good... but Dolly Parton "impression" has kind of a negative connotation. Anyway, that picture is beautiful.
