Carrie Underwood's "Play On" tour stopped at the UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans last night. Not only were her supporting acts of Sons of Sylvia and Craig Morgan great, but Carrie Underwood has served notice to the female country world that she IS the real deal. My wife loves Carrie, and this was her Christmas present. She was NOTdisappointed!
A great heart, firmly founded in her faith and convictions, and a sincere desire to reach out to her fan base shows in an incredible deisplay of showmanship and talent ffrom the stage. Young and old, male and female alike, you could not help but be moved in this show. In particular, Carrie's rendition of, "How Great Thou Art" brought down the house with emotion that is rarely seen in a concert.
Her "fly over" from the bed of a pickup truck was a hit, and her stage was one of the most complex and best that I've seen in concert. Carrie Underwood is one of my favorite PEOPLE, much less artists, and she will be a mainstay in the American music scene for years to come. I highly recommend that you bring your family to catch this show before it's over!

Favorite moment: Jesus Take the Wheel/How Great Thou Art rendition. I'm a guy who was so moved that I had tears in my eyes. @
Opening act(s): Sons of Sylvia (One of the most rockin' country bands that I've heard in a while)
Craig Morgan (One of the classiest acts around) @
