Kellie Pickler’s Voice Shines in Studio 330 Sessions

9 Feb 10

For years, I thought Kellie Pickler’s big personality kind of overshadowed her big powerful voice. But on this performance of CMT’s Studio 330 Sessions, she put that big personality on the back burner for a while so that her vocals can be the star. She sings her heart and soul out on “Makin’ Me Fall in Love Again” (which she says is about the good side of love), then “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You” and “Best Days of Your Life” (the one she says she wrote with Taylor Swift while they were touring with Brad Paisley). Then she does “Don’t Close Your Eyes” from her all-time favorite classic country singer Keith Whitley. She sounds phenomenal on each one. But she does let her quirky side come out a little in the interview at the end when she talks about her first cassette tape (George Strait) and her current cell phone ring tone (Hank Williams‘ “My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It”). Her best anecdote is about her first concert at 16. She and a friend drove to Charlotte, N.C., to see Kenny Chesney and decorated a Honda to say, “Honk if you love Kenny Chesney.” I’ve seen hundred of cars like that in concert parking lots, so it’s funny to think that just about seven years ago, that could have been Pickler’s.
