THE JUDD'S STAGECOACH 2008

The Judd's And Bucky Covington Review 2008

BY JACKIE DEVEREAUX

INDIO, CA - There was plenty of eye candy at the 2008 Stagecoach Country Music Festival held here, making this festival worth the price of admission even without the shows. "There are more blondes here wearing short shorts, cowboy hats and boots than in all of Texas, "said Tom Cooper of Benton Harbor, Michigan. "You have to wear sunglasses for more than one reason,? Cooper said with a smiling group of friends. The afternoon sun baked the crowd at the Mane Stage as Bucky Covington impressed everyone with his rendition of Pink Floyd's hit, "The Wall.? Not something you'd expect to hear at a Country Western redneck bash, but the audience sang along with their cowboy hats on. My husband and I were impressed by the young North Carolina heart throb, and thought he performed better than the headliner, Rascal Flatts, who sounded flat. Poor Taylor Swift followed Covington's band sounding like a young immature voice. Her constant ego referrals to her success and hit songs came across like a teenager, which she is. Perhaps when she matures, so will her music and her humility. The Judd's, on the other hand, stole the show Saturday night. There were a true listening treat, mother and daughter singing in Perfect Harmony. Naomi, 62-years old, looked 42 from our front and center, second row seats. And Wynona voice was Photo by Ken Dow for Desert Local News simply incredible, especially when compared to Swift. How can you keep up with a legend and superstar when you're only 18. Rascal Flatts sounded like a garden variety Country Western band, and should not have been the headliner Saturday.
