Big and Rich

September 11, 2011

Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
Cause I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
                     Big & Rich


We saw that Big and Rich were going to be at the LA County Fair right after a USC football game so we had to go.  We stayed Saturday night at Connie and Russ's house, so Sunday we got up and went to the Fair.  The fair was just around the corner from Connie and Russ's house.  We walked around the fair, ate dinner and then it was concert time.

Big and Rich
with Cowboy Troy

They mix traditional country sounds with hip-hop, rock and the occasional Native American yell. One of their most notable songs is “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.” In 2007 the duo released a new album entitled Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace which contains their No. 1 single “Lost in the Moment.” They are also two of five members of Muzik Mafia, along with Gretchen Wilson. Special guest Cowboy Troy joins in. John Rich can add to his list of credits 2011 winner of Celebrity Apprentice.

Gretchen Wilson

The identity she wears so guilelessly is one that resonates strongly with fans of country and Southern rock—the independent, take-no-guff, hard-working and hard-partying country girl. Along with her hit debut single “Redneck Woman” which soared to No. 1 on the Billboard country charts, her debut album Here for the Party, entered the country album chart at No. 1 and the pop album chart at No. 2 with sales of 227,000 copies, the biggest opening week for a new country artist on record. Since she has released albums All Jacked Up, One of the Boys and I’ve Got Your Country Right Here and hit singles “Work Hard, Play Harder,” “Here for the Party” and “All Jacked Up.” “I’d Love to be Your Last” is not only a single but was a double 2011 Grammy Awards nominee.

You know im here for the party
And i aint leaving till they throw me out gonna have a little fun gonna get me some

We had great seats.

It was a great concert.  Love those whiskey drinking country singers.  They played all the hits. Big, Rich, Gretchen and Cowboy Troy were great.
