Has an accordion player (hot in a nerdy kinda way-love him!) Jill herself not hard on the eyes (altho I do not swing that way..info for the guys only)

I'll second the Hank Jr. nomination but i'm sure he would be tough to get. Definately like to see Kracker again. Any other country artists would be a plus for some variety.

I agree Val-my-Pal.....I don't think the Cruise was Yelawolf's cup of tea... or he is just a dick all the time.... don't need to see him next year....

LOL Cheryl, and since we're laying it all out there....
Yela---if Kracker and Co. don't need security, you sure the heck don't!! That poor man looked as miserable as a hungry flea on a dead dog

I like the idea of Sonia Leigh on the boat as well. She was pretty intense.
Martina McBride? Wonder if she would show up, or too big of a name?

I know this would never happen because Kid likes to be fully prepared on stage.....but

What about an all bands jam for a couple of hours. Do some cover songs, solos, and Kid can sing on some and watch the show when he wants too. Each band can put together 3-4 songs that they would take the lead on....and others can join in. All of those bands started out doing cover songs with their original songs to keep the crowd into it.

Agreed - You have to start with Kracker, Paradime, Ty Stone, John Stone, Envy, and DJ Mark EP.

I thought Gretchen Wilson was great a couple of years ago.

How about Colt Ford? He has that country-rap thing going on.

Sonia Leigh? She toured with Kracker and Ty Stone last year - she is really good and signed on Zac Brown's label.

I think Bob has good taste and a good feel for a nice mixture of genres. Seems like I read he has a budget to work with, so you probably aren't going to get another big headliner - unless they just come for fun.

Sheepdogs can stay home one of them is a complete ass hole pervert. Scumbag in my opinion. Making securtity clean up after his drunken ass, flashing is weeny all over the casino. Not very professional for someone who was paid to be there.

Be nice of Hank Jr., if he'd show up for one special performance.

Frankie Ballard would be good. I've heard of Jill Jack, she was supposed to play at MI fest last year, but she got cut from the line up..I think I saw her on Fox 2? & I thought she sounded good.
What about Jr.? he's been playing a lot around Mi this summer. What about Howling Diablos, haven't they played on the cruise before?
