I wasn't aware that there would be an opening act when I bought my tickets, but was surprised to see Dead Reckoning recording artist, Kevin Welch announced as a special guest. Kevin was very understated, and his music folksy. He played accompanied only by his guitar. I enjoyed the six tunes that he played, which included one that was the title track of Wy's fourth solo release, "The Other Side." He joked that he wanted to get it in the act that night, since he didn't think she had it on her set list. Kevin's selections:

Looking back at the songs that she sang, there were quite a few from her 1996 release, Revelations. I don't own the album, so I didn't recognize these songs, but I loved the two ballads she sang from it, which unfortunately, don't have audio clips. These were "My Angel Is Here," and "Love By Grace." Here is her full set list. I've included links to audio clips of the songs where applicable.
"Testify To Love" was a cut from the Nashville version of "Prince of Egypt" soundtrack. What can I say? Wynonna is wonderful in concert. Worth every penny. She's been at it for 18 years, and her voice is still as pure as it was when she started.

Wynonna has changed her musical style from her days as one-half of the country duo, "The Judds." Back then, the music was strictly country. Since going solo, Wy has stretched her wings adding music that is a little more R&B and rock. But, regardless of what she sings, she does it with her full heart and soul.
Just one more comment on "How Great Thou Art." Wy really does this one well. She and her background singers sound like heaven opened up and music poured down when they sing this. Awesome!Explore Country Music
