The 2007 Bama Breeze Tour kicked off on Satuday night at the Minute Maid Park in Houston, TX. Jimmy opened the show with "On The Road Again", a cover of the song by Willie Nelson. Two other songs were also performed live for the first time "Cinco de Mayo in Memphis" and "Reggabilly Hill". Other surprises to the set list included "Ballad of Spider John", "Northeast Texas Women", and "Tonight I Just Need My Guitar".
The set list from the show is now available, along with comments from those who listened to the show on Radio Margaritaville or SIRIUS Satellite Radio. The last two songs "Tonight I Just Need My Guitar" and "In My Room" were missing due to a local power loss backstage. They are working on re-airing the lost songs in the near future.
Some people who attended the show have mentioned the t-shirts include tour dates for Hollywood, CA and Honolulu, HI.
Michael Utley was not at the show because he was recovering from minor surgery in Nashville. Mac McAnally filled in on keyboards. He is expected to rejoin the band on Wednesday in Atlanta.
The opening act Robert Earl Keen played for about 30 minutes prior to Jimmy taking the stage. REK is only scheduled to be the opening act for the Houston show.
