and up-and-comer Tenille Townes, creating a mecca for fans of country artists telling honest, rich stories via massive vocal performances and with a healthy dose of spunk.
Morris seems to have somehow still further refined her live sound, which was compelling from day one. Fresh arrangements kept some of her now-vintage crowd-pleasers interesting. “I Wish I Was” opened with a stunning a capella three-part harmony that had the audience scrambling for their phones. She humored fans with “The Middle,” her massive crossover hit with Zedd -- thanks to her own strength as a vocalist, though, the song sounded completely natural played by a country band.
The crowd’s enthusiasm peaked with the rare appearance by the Pistol Annies, featuring Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley. What might seem like a niche group to those not familiar with country inspired a practically arena-shaking roar when they came out to “Takin’ Pills,” a song where they introduce each other by way of their respective purported vices .
They cycled through a too-short set that still spanned their entire catalog. Too-real ballad “Best Years of My Life” was perfectly executed heartbreak, but the show-stopper was a flawless rendition of “Hell on Heels,” the group’s signature song. The harmonies stick so well that when they asked the crowd to sing a final chorus alone, the result was still harmonized -- just 10,000 or so strong.
