Lisa will receive the actual pair of Justin brand boots worn by Terri in her Gypsy Boots music video.

Lisa’s promotion consisted of asking people to become a fan of Terri’s facebook page and in return, Lisa would donate a dollar to the American Red Cross relief effort in Haiti.

Not only was this an effective way to get new facebook fans for Terri, but Lisa was able to raise money for a worthy cause.

BUT we couldn’t stop there.  Of the submissions we received there were so many good ones, we have to recognize a few others who also did top-notch work.  The following fans will be receiving a TC Fan Pack containing autographed items and some other surprises.

We also have a few shots from the filming of the video.

These days, she is independent: running her own label and in charge of her own career, beholden to no one, except, maybe, to Gibson guitars, whose logo is emblazoned on her tour bus. For Friday’s show, she brought a  half-dozen or so acoustic guitars and a chair, a sound guy and her own photographer and gave the full house a solo-acoustic show that brimmed with grass-roots warmth and charm.

Her set list showcased tracks off her latest album, “The Long Way Home,” like “If You Want Fire,” “A Million Ways to Run,” “Gypsy Boots” and “Merry Go Round.” Before that one, she used a merry-go-round as a metaphor for her big-label career — the monotonous ride she wanted off of in favor of a path of her own. That career was good to her, thanks to all its Top 40 modern-country hits, and she played several of those: “Better Things to Do,” “I Just Wanna Be Mad,” “No Fear,” “Now That I Found You” and her raucous cover of Warren Zevon’s “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me.”

Clark writes or co-writes most of her material, some of which evokes the writing style of Mary Chapin Carpenter. Most of it translates nicely to the solo-acoustic arrangement. The room was packed with devotees who listened harder to the old stuff than to the new and who sang-along a lot, both when prompted by Clark and on their own.

She peppered the show with stories, jokes and asides, a couple of which were salty. Before “If You Want Fire,” she talked about burning new-love — the kind where you’re doing one of two things: “Both begin with ‘f’ and one of them is ‘fight.’”  After a train rumbled by, she did a few impromptu bars of “Folsom Prison” (but didn’t acknowledge it was Johnny Cash’s birthday). And she delivered some advice she’d gotten from her idol, Reba McIntire, about Clark’s need for a better wardrobe and costumes, and then plunked a big black cowboy hat atop her head.

Clark expressed gratitude several times to those who filled the room — for their emotional support and long-time loyalty as much as for their money.  (Her after-show Twitter update: “Thanks to everyone in KC- it was just the best- had a blast. Couldn’t get one more body in the place- whoo hoooooo …”)

And though the title of her last big hit was “Girls Lie, Too,” when she said she’s happier with herself and her career then she has been in a long time, it felt like she was telling the truth.
