“Mr. Clint Black!”
That’s how the show opened last Saturday night, with a recorded message from Clint Black’s 4-year-old daughter, Lily introducing her dad to the Elko Speedway stage, in Elko, Minn. Black opened with a fan-favorite, “A Good Run of Bad Luck,” before playing a smattering of old, recent, and new songs. The crowd, lackluster for the previous three shows (including opening act Lonestar), stood for much of the show as Clint, as he is wont to do, made the relatively small crowd feel like this was the most important one of his summer tour.
For someone who has been to numerous Clint Black shows (with the name of this site as enough evidence of that), the highlight of the show had to be his revamped version of “We Tell Ourselves,” and the constant throw of solos from electric guitar to fiddle to piano to bass guitar to steel guitar and back to electric guitar again. A treat was also had in hearing a few of Black’s not-yet-released tunes of his October album release Drinkin’ Songs and Other Logic including “Rainbow in the Rain” and “Code of the West,” a song he says is a tribute to the hard work of our armed forces, new and old.
This show reiterated Black’s professionalism. There was no mention of October 4th (the release date of his new album), despite the opening act’s mention of September 13th (the release date for their next album) numbering approximately the amount of #1 hits Black has (20). There were no sketchy jokes that made parents cringe. It was a show that Mrs. Black could feel safe and proud to bring their “Little Pearl.”
Clint Black proved, once again, that he is the class of Country music. He proved, once again, this his show is one to see and one to hear.
