LeAnn Rimes -- LIVE!




A few images, courtesy of photographer Kevin Qualls, from Tuesday's LeAnn Rimes show at Anniston High School. If you went to the show, tell us what you think.

Help us review the LeAnn Rimes concert

LeAnn Rimes kicked off this year's Knox Concert Series with a show Tuesday night in Anniston. That's big news for these parts. Having The Star tell you about the show can be routine and run-of-the-mill. But having Knox attendees review the show certainly is better.

So add your comments to this post. Tell us about Rimes' performance, the crowd, and if you thought it appropriate for a country singer to be included in the Knox lineup. We'd love to know what you think. I bet fellow readers would want to know, too.

More Rumble photos






Rumble on Noble photos




OK, it's late, I smell like beer -- dude next to me wasted half a Budweiser on my right leg -- and what little hearing I had is now gone. For good.
But it was fun.
I've sent along a few photos: The first is of Molly Hatchet guitarist Bobby Ingram. The second is of the lead singer from the band Geneva. And the third is of JB Walker and the Cheap Whiskey Band. I'll try to post a few more when I get some sleep.
The music was loud -- especially Hatchet -- and a few too many of the yahoos at the show had too much to drink for my taste. Hard to enjoy the show when you're avoiding shoving matches between ... you get the point.
There were some highlights. The guitar player for the JB Walker band was pretty good. That band and Geneva both covered John Mellencamp's "Pink Houses," and Hatchet covered "Freebird," of course. This, too: I'm not so sure how many people can tell you anything about Geneva's set because of the outfit the singer wore -- or what she didn't wear, if you get my drift.
Oh, well. If I have more thoughts I'll post them when I get the other pictures sent your way.
Even if you're not a huge fan of Southern rock, it was good to have shows in downtown Anniston. This town needs more of it.
