Last night was amazing. Every year during the holidays the Grand Ole Opry takes their show back to where it all started, The Ryman Auditorium. As I have said in the past the Grand Ole Opry is something that every country music fan should experience at least once in their life. It is where all of country music’s finest have played, it’s where all of the magic happens and last night was no different.
The highlights of the night for me were Chuck Wicks and Rascal Flatts.
Chuck Wicks was introduced by the legendary Little Jimmy Dickens who said that Chuck has a new album that is being released this week! WHAT? Since when did Chuck have a new album coming out? I have been trying to find information about this all morning and am coming up dry so I will do some more research next week and find out. Anyways……. The first song that Chuck sang was a BRAND NEW song called “She Gets to Me”. It is sexy and I about hit the floor when I heard it. Ladies, I can’t wait for you to hear the song. Then he closed his Opry set with Stealing Cinderella.
Before Rascal Flatts even had the chance to be introduced by Mike Snider the crowd in the Ryman Auditorium went crazy! They need no introduction. What was so fantastic about last nights show is they did not sing the typical songs that we are used to hearing. They brought out the old fan favorites. Last nights set was a dream come true for a true Rascal Flatts fan. Just take a listen:
They belted out an old favorite “Church on Cumberland Road” followed by “Here Comes Goodbye”. With Gary leading into what I had hoped would be “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” but turned into “Santa Clause is Coming to Town”. The energy and screams from the crowd were like I had never heard at the Opry before. Then the highlight of the night for me was them closing out their set with an old bonus track from their Feels Like Today album. It’s an old Mac Davis song called “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me”.
Others who took the stage at the Grand Ole Opry last night were Jimmy C. Newman, Ray Pillow, Jim Ed Brown, Connie Smith, Steve Wariner, Bill Anderson, Stonewall Jackson and Vince Gill.
If you have not had the pleasure to visit the Grand Ole Opry please make plans to. It is a magical experience that will leave you with a sense of why each and every country music artists loves what they do.

Chucks album is suppose to come out the 1st of the year and Iv heard She gets to me alot and I love it.Heard it will be the next single by Chuck.Cant wait to hear it on the radio.
From what I am gathering from emails and info online Chuck IS working on a new album and will have a SINGLE out sometime in January. Emails from readers have also told me that the song “She Gets to Me” was written for ex-girlfriend Julianne Hough.
Is there any way you could email me thiose clips? (:
Thank you for the article.
Rascal Flatts sounds great. Wish they would show them on Grand Ole Opry on YouTube.
Doreen, There are a few videos of their Opry peformances on Youtube. There’s one of “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” and one of “Santa Clause Is Coming To Town.” I listened to this on Opry radio and loved it! This is probably the best Opry set I’ve ever seen from them, and I loved went the unexpected route with the song choices. I definatly hope to see them perform at the Opry lots more in the coming years.
