Lorrie Morgan is the pride of Tennessee. She’s been flogging out country and western hits for decades and is showing no signs of slowing. She broke out into the country charts in 1989 with the single ‘Trainwreck of Emotion’ and has been a mainstay in the Billboard Hot Country chart ever since.
She’s had three number ones: ‘Five Minutes’ off her debut, Leave the Light On (1990), the sassy ‘What Part of No’ off Watch Me (1992) and the later single ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’ off The Colour of Roses (2002).
These days she’s no spring chicken, but she’s as charming as ever. She still pulls off the bell-bottomed, low-waisted jeans, the snazzy, silk-embroidered blazer, the oversized jewellery and glittery country guiutar to match. And she still has the warming classic country-singer smile, making happy banter with the audience in her cheeky Southern drawl.
Every song she plays is recognised and given a hearty reception; it is apparent that there are some real fans here. There’s a great amount of starry-eyed singing along and the atmosphere is just like old times.
