Travis Tritt opened the CMA Music Festival’s Friday night show at LP Field with “Put Some Drive in Your Country,” a song that once served as a statement of purpose: Tritt wanted his 1990s listeners to know he intended to infuse country music with rock-steady rhythms.
These days, Tritt’s songs still sounds formidable, and his voice still ranks among the genre’s most powerful and assertive, but the song’s sentiment isn’t particularly provocative at a time when country radio features country songs with rock drive and hip hop flow.
With a band that included Mike Daly, playing a fluid and aggressive Dobro solo on “Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde,” Tritt ripped through a well-received set at the big stadium.
“This has really become an anthem for me,” he said, introducing “It’s a Great Day To Be Alive,” the Darrell Scott-penned anthem of domestic normalcy.
Tritt provided a rousing opening for Friday night’s stadium show, wailing through a rousing version of the Jerry Chesnutt-written,1992 hit “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.”

In what was possibly the most star-packed lineup of the entirety of CMA Music Festival 2014, the Friday, June 6, shows at Nashville’s LP Field reached new highs with stellar sets from a couple of the genre’s most talented female performers, Miranda Lambert and The Band Perry’s Kimberly Perry, and key assists from Carrie Underwood and Lzzy Hale.
Not that the guys were any slouch, mind you. Fans were treated to a rockin’ opening set from Travis Tritt, who was in fine, soulful voice on “Trouble” and “It’s a Great Day to be Alive,” among others.
