James Otto

The Grand Ole Opry might be one of the biggest honours to be a part of in the Country and Western scene. Walking out complete with his Gibson Firebird Guitar, he plays the choppy opening to “The Are The Good ole Dayes”, and then the verse kicks in and I’m like, ‘if this is the verse, then how catchy is the chorus going to be?’ the definitely measures up nicely, in a big way! He has that fantastic country and western instrumentation surrounding him, with a pedal steel taking a solo, followed by his right hand man on the electric guitar.
“Just Got Started Loving You” is the more tongue in cheek lyrically constructed song. Showcasing Otto’s more bass range of his voice, playing his acoustic Gibson guitar, (does this guy have some kind of sponsorship?). The audience joins in with the chorus, and then sings throughout the chorus in support of this seasoned singer songwriter.

He put on a decent show. I enjoyed Chris Gelbuda and Big AL Anderson much more. They were really great. I had no idea who they were before last night
