\nSo Santa brought me a new tablet and I wanted to play with it, what better way to tinker
\nwith it than to head down to Roberts Western World<\/a> on Broadway in Nashville.
\nWHO YOU ASK? Why…none other than Sarah Gayle Meech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my opinion she is one of the BEST acts on Lower Broadway to go see, she has a heart of gold
\nand a voice of the heavens. She honestly LOVES her fans and remembers everybody’s name..I wished I
\ncould do that all the time. I’m guilty of forgetting names but once she meets you she knows you.<\/p>\n

The worst expense of downtown Nashville shows is parking..that’s costly. But I’ll tell you what
\nSarah is worth whatever you spend to get there. Just take my word for it and get there.
\nShe had her “Meech Boys” with her for this show I caught today and up front I’ll say the covers
\nwere WELL picked out. Some VERY rarely heard covers were played tonight and I’ll tell you
\nonce again the NEW album “Tennessee Love Song” is finished and I’m waiting orders to release
\na pre-order article. I’m told it has 14 songs and YES IT WAS produced by Andy Gibson and his magic
\nstudio..Andy no longer plays for Hank 3 (for unknown reasons).<\/p>\n

Her steel guitarist Tommy Hammum just absolutely KILLED IT today along with her guitarist
\nCraig Smith. I’m going to be featuring Mr. Tommy later on in an upcoming series on steel
\nguitarists (Oh did I spoil that)..dangit…<\/p>\n

She opened her set with a Harlan Howard in 1959 called “Heartaches By The Number”. Now most
\nof you would say it was Ray Price..and it was but Guy Mitchell recorded the most commercially
\nsuccessful version. She also played ‘Tiger By The Tail” which is a good Buck Owens song
\nwhich was also penned by Harlan Howard.<\/p>\n

“All I Want is a Honky Tonk” was a real good choice for an original opener of her set
\nfrom her debut album. For only having one album under her belt she really is creating
\nONE HELL of a hoo ha down there. Robert’s is FAMOUS for birthing huge draws on their stage
\nlike BR5-49 and Brazilbilly. Both bands recorded live albums there and became quite successful
\nusing it as their headquarters.<\/p>\n

She then played “One Six Pack To Go’ and Old White Boots”. She knows I’m a huge FAN OF HER
\nSONG “fOOLISH”. I JUST love HER VOICE WITH THAT STEEL made possible by Tommy Hammum who just
\ngot off tour with Wynnona Judd and has played with so many Legends of Country Music.
\nHe sang on some songs too, like “Going Down That Road Feeling Bad”..and he also did a REALLY NICE
\nversion of “Steel Guitar Rag”.<\/p>\n

Her new songs she played were called “Love Of Mine” and the other new one was called “Bar Again”.
\nAnd so far from what I have heard this album will be another must have in your collection.
\nAnd we only have to wait until March to pre-order it.<\/p>\n

Craig Smith on the lead guitar…wow..what can I say? He absolutely blew the roof off
\nthe damn bar. His tone was very unique and he belted out some rowdy ass riffs.
\nAs they played “Honky Tonk Blues” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough” the tip jar had to be
\ndumped out twice! You know folks she works for TIPS so instead of your 5 dollar foamy coffee
\nwhy not help her pay bills?<\/p>\n

“sound Of A Heartbreak” is a really good original song from her first album..I’m telling
\nyou if you have not checked her out DO IT NOW!
\nShe followed up with “Honky Tonk Angels” by Kitty Wells and “One Good Thing”, which is
\nthe title track of her first album.
\nHank Cochran’s “I Fall To Pieces” was another great cover song she does. along with another
\noriginal “Drink Myself To Sleep”.<\/p>\n

JUST HER AND THE STEEL MAN TOMMY played “Golden Ring” and “Your Cheat’n Heart”.
\nI’d LOVE for her to do a show with just her and a steel guitar, man that would be
\na nice combo.
\n“Sad And Lonely” and “I’ll Be Gone” were next followed by a Red Simpson song
\n“Close All The Honky Tonks”. My favorite version of that song was done by Charlie Walker
\nin 1965.<\/p>\n

“No Angel” she played and the guitarist played a REALLY GOOD version of “Big River”
\nand his solos blasted through the whole bar. His stage presence beat ANYTHING ANY arena
\nshow EVER COULD produce.
\nMY FAVORITE song she does “Foolish” and I will be honest..I don’t think she’ll ever beat
\nthat song. Not saying she does not have the ability to write a better song…but in my opinion
\nshe will never beat it..It’s that good.<\/p>\n

One of the last songs they did was the guitarist singing “Halfway Down” which Patty Loveless
\nmade popular and Billy Joe Shaver wrote it.
\nShe closed her set with “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”. All in All I had a wonderful time
\ndown there despite the achy damp weather. What a blessed way to spend an afternoon and see
\nsome great friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
