We have been waiting for the show all year, and we certainly were not disappointed. Carrie, Reba and Dolly started singing as soon as the show began, and we all knew we were in for a great show. Nice trio covering Loretta Lynn’s “Lookin’ at Country”, followed by more ladies doing a Tammy Wynette song, and Tanya Tucker to help out with “Delta Dawn”. We heard Gretchen Wilson, Crystal Gayle, Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Terri Clark, Tanya Tucker … and the list goes on! Okay, we all saw the show, so enough of a recap. But this was definitely Lady’s Night at the Bridgestone. Absolutely loved it.
