Casey James Wows Crowd At Dusty Armadillo Winter Concert Series 9-28-13

Country Music City Promotions, Shellie Palmer

Undeniable passion and soul filled the Dusty Armadillo Saturday September 28th, with his return to the Dusty stage Casey James is the epitome of  a musician, his eyes widen and he who takes great joy playing for a crowd. By the number of the crowd, the ladies of the night swoon over James that find him gushing. James' musicality is one for the books and the musicians that take the lead in the band Jeff Brown, Dino Villanueva and David Kurrasch are one fine oiled machine. Through out his hour set James performed his single hits "Let's Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying On A Suitcase" including his current single "The Good Life". From the crowd's excitement new material is performed "Nothing Like You",  "A Woman's Touch" and "Get On The Road" along with others that still have me re-listening to videos. Oozing soul and blues in "A Girl Like You" and "A Woman's Touch" is feeling James' fire beneath the surface. It is no doubt James fuels his passion for music. The energizing "Get On A Roll" is fist pumping as Dino describes fist pumping to get the crowd in doing just that. On the ever sweet and ever soulful "So Sweet" generates heat from the ladies making temperatures rise in the building. Not one minute does James feel to look out in the crowd, holding his hands to his head to also brushing the hair away from his face. It was from the solo leads from each member that truly left me feeling each and every one's passion from the stage, you don't get passion like that, it it either already instilled in you, in your veins or not at all. Without a doubt these men have real passion. At one point throughout the set Casey reminds the crowd to really get into it to even having them sing with him, fan interaction is key, and it was right on, James was impressed. At times James pulls in the guys for some musical interaction, players together are a force to be reckoned with.

It wasn't until  Casey performed "Drive", "Working On It" and "She's Money" that would send the crowd into a manic frenzy. At that moment felt like a British invasion going on, was I morphed back into the 60's with the Beatles, I truly felt the floor shaking beneath me. It was an experience I will never forget. As the hour began to wind down I felt the urge to swipe the sweat rolling down my face trying to keep my clothes from sticking to me and brushing the hair away from my face. Before the closing number Casey tells the crowd he would stay behind to meet with everyone, sign photos and take pictures, what a gentleman. Pure, honest, passionate Casey James gives good meaning to country music and his growing fan base, this is what it's about. You'll find me at future shows.
