I had a chance to check out Glitter Rose’s set. The southpaw, guitar playing, southern rockin’ vixen, who happens to have has her own line of Jon Kammerer Guitars, is no stranger to the Dallas Guitar Festival going on her 3rd tour.

Promoting her 2007 release, “Southern Comfort” and her latest single “Double Wide on the Back Side”, Glitter in a faded Batman shirt and band mates went through an entertaining set that included a mixture of originals and covers such as Aerosmith’s “Pink” (which seems very appropriate), Elvis, and Beatles. The high point of the set was her original track “All Good Guys Wear Black”. I could not help giggle at the lyrics mentioning Batman and Superman, but hey it made me buy a CD. Leave it to Glitter to appeal the nerd side of the crowd.

The only thing I would suggest to Glitter Rose is to study the formula of the Pennsylvania band Halestorm and 80s rock goddess, Lita Ford, and just do the same in the southern country market. The enthusiasm, energy, and talent is definitely there. Maybe she is the one to finally rid put an end to the Carrie Underwoods and Taylor Swifts of the world. One can only hope.
