The Buck Trent Show in Branson, Missouri celebrates country classics during its two hour production. Mr. Banjo, Buck Trent, is a veteran performer who has taken the stage with Roy Clark and Porter Wagoner, to name a few. His morning show, which is in its 18th year, features country music and good natured humor that keeps the show sailing smoothly.The show has two really great fiddle players, Melody & Bruce, who really light up the stage during performances of “Orange Blossom Special” & “Howdy Neighbor.” Their lead singer, Kenny Parrott, has an amazing voice that really shines on renditions of “Ring of Fire” & “Hello Darlin’,” while Buck Trent & Melody celebrate the golden age of country music with a duet of “Last Thing on my Mind.” Melody has a great country voice and her performances of Dolly Parton hits, including “Jolene” & “Coat of Many Colors” lets her showcase her skills in great fashion.
The Branson Buck Trent Morning Show performs a country version of Dr. Zhivago’s “Lara’s Theme” that highlights the wonderful instrumental skills of the performers in the Buck Trent Show, as does a rendition of “In the Mood” on Steel Guitar. Jonathan, their piano & saxophone player, performed “Yakety Sax” to great applause, and the song made me feel like I was on an episode of The Benny Hill Show. The entire group performs on a gospel medley, which includes favorites like “This Old House,” “May the Circle be Unbroken,” & “I’ll Fly Away.”
I went to the show during the month of November, so there was also a 30 minute segment dedicated to Christmas music – country style! My favorite performances from this segment included “Silent Night” & “We Three Kings.”
