Songwriters Night At The Bluebird Café source:http://www.countrycharts.com/concertreviews/bluebird.htm Nashville, TN November 21, 2000 By: Jo-Ann Poharcyk After a short break, it was time for the three spotlight artists for the evening to take center stage. Setting up for a television taping of Turner South‘s "Live From The Bluebird", the filming crew began its demanding task of camera placement, sound and lighting checks, and readying the performers for the evening’s merriment. Treating the crowd with their humorous antics and all around good natured camaraderie were Capital Records recording artist, keith urban and singer, songwriters Leslie Satcher and Harley Allen. Combining to display some of their most well known songs as well as a few favorites, the three virtuosos entertained the crowd with some high-spirited and enthusiastic lyrics. In Allen’s "Stray Dogs and Alley Cats," urban’s "It’s A Love Thing" and a real ditty from Satcher about "never under estimating a bored housewife" the composers showed the crowd a bit of upbeat country music at it’s best. Not wanting to pass over the ever popular traditional country love-gone-bad song, Allen included a comical melody about "the only good years we ever had were in my pickup truck." Urban, on the other hand, added his light hearted love tune, "I Wanna Be Your Man Forever." The song that he had written in honor of his bass player from "The Ranch," Jerry Flowers and his wife The evening was not all laughs as the songwriters portrayed a softer and more sensitive side by playing a collection of their heartbreaking, sentimental ballads. Satcher’s emotional narrative of knowing when she had written a song that should have only been sung by her was evident in her beautiful rendition of "There Ain’t No Song in This Guitar." Allen expressed his poignant songwriting emotions in the Gary Allen hit "Learning To Live With Me" and the recent number one John Michael Montgomery hit "The Little Girl," a song which was inspired by an email Allen had received from his brother. As with many of the songs on his current album urban detailed his emotional love story by telling his own personal tale about taking love for granted in "I Thought You Knew." His current chart topper "But For The Grace of God" reminds all of us to be thankful for those we have in our lives and for their unconditional love. With three hours of tape "in the can" and an audience that was captivated by the talents of these three distinguished songwriters the evening came to a close with keith urban’s awesome six minute extravaganza of the "Shelby County Jail.
