VALDOSTA — Young and old left their summer re-runs of “Grey’s Anatomy” behind and hit up Wild Adventures Thursday evening as the Country Rat Pack tour made a pit stop in Valdosta.

The Country Rat Pack Tour, which is composed of Tracy Lawrence and Tracy Byrd, along with former Lonestar lead singer Richie McDonald, took the stage at 8 p.m. to a mixed crowd, ranging from babies to senior citizens.

The stage was set up as a living room with a sofa, plants, chair and three bar stools in front for the three performers. Both Byrd and Lawrence played the acoustic guitar. McDonald switched between guitar and keyboards.

The concert started with Lawrence’s hit “Better Man, Better Off.” Byrd and McDonald performed along with him.

They did this the entire concert, which gave it a more intimate, personal feeling.

Before performing, McDonald told the audience how he was just in Indianapolis recording a song for the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race that is taking place Sunday. He went on to tell the audience how he messed up on one of the lines and instead of singing “400 miles” he sung “400 laps.” McDonald then flew into Jacksonville and after finding out his mistake found a recording studio, re-recorded the song and drove to Valdosta, making it to the theme park shortly before show time.

“I don’t know if ya’ll ever think about it, but they never stop to go to the bathroom,” Lawrence joked, causing the audience laugh. “They just do it in the car, but it evaporates.”

The three singers continued to make jokes the entire night.

The funniest and seemingly most crowd-pleasing performance of the night was a song that has yet to be recorded by Lawrence. The song, “Pills,” is a song that Lawrence says is the “perfect country-western song and some might find that it hits a little close to home.” The song, with the usual country twang guitar, pokes fun at the weight-loss, hair-growth and sexual-arousal pill commercials on television.

“Performing that song is my favorite part of the evening,” Byrd said as the crowd continued to applaud.

During the evening, the guys did perform some of their biggest hits.

Byrd performed his signature song “Watermelon Crawl,” “Keeper of the Stars,” and “Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo.”

Lawrence kept the crowd at ease with his hits “Paint Me a Birmingham,” “Alibis,” “If the World Had a Front Porch,” and his most recent single, “Up to Him,” which is on his first album made up of completely Christian music.

McDonald performed other hits that he recorded with Lonestar, such as “Walking in Memphis,” “Amazed,” and “My Front Porch Looking In,” and “Let Them Be Little,” a song he co-wrote that country singer Billy Dean recorded.

The three performers failed to perform a few of their bigger hits, including McDonald’s most recent single, “Six Foot Teddy Bear,” Lawrence’s “Texas Tornado” or “Sticks and Stones” and Byrd’s “Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous.”

The concert ended with McDonald and Byrd joining Lawrence on his last hit song, “Find Out Who Your Friends Are,” which he won a CMA Award for with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney for Vocal Event of the Year in 2007. While it wasn’t Chesney and McGraw up on stage singing, it was a fitting way to end a concert by some of the most successful country singers of the last 15 years.
