I Finally Saw Willie Nelson: Outlaw Music Festival Concert Review

Having said that, I wanted to finally see Willie Nelson.

So I did.

I went to his Outlaw Music Festival in Cincinnati.

There were five bands and I went for two of them: Willie and Bonnie Raitt.

The first act, Derek Allan Band, was meh to me.

The second act, Jamestown Revival, was actually good. I can’t say I’ll ever buy any of their music, but they were good.

Bonnie Raitt was great!! She still sings and plays well, and her band is fantastic. I’m glad I saw her.

The next act, Luke Combs, I could care less about.

He’s considered hot stuff by a lot of people and that’s good for them, but I hated having to sit through his set.

It was terrible to my ears. And you know what’s sad? He probably had the best reaction of the night.

Not that Willie didn’t have a great reaction, but I swear many people were leaving during his set.

Seeing Willie Nelson was good. He is still great at what he does, and his band, which is his family, are fantastic. Especially his sister, Bobbie, who plays piano.

This concert was a mixed bag for me but I’m glad I saw Willie and Bonnie. They were great.

I hope they keep going for a long time to come.

Again, I HATE Country music and I always will. But I respect Willie and Bonnie and am glad I saw them.
