CMA

If you've pulled up to a local Casey's you may have seen a poster with details on how you can team with Lee Brice and Casey's for not only some great food specials but also the possibility of a chance to go to a Lee Brice concert or even the opportunity for your hometown to host a concert.

Garth Brooks is permanently removing himself from the running for CMA Entertainer of the Year.

The CMA has invited Keith Urban to be the first artist ambassador for their initiative Music Education Matters, as was announced at a press conference during the CMA Music Fest Thursday morning (June 11).

Brett Eldredge has had an enormously successful couple of years, but this new honor takes the cake. The singer-songwriter has been added to the CMA's board of directors.

Congratulations to Amy Fowler. We are sending Amy and a guest to see the 2014 CMA Awards in Nashville.

The 2014 CMA Awards nominees have been announced!

These days, the CMA Award Entertainer of the Year is usually well-respected and receiving the award is a great honor. However that wasn't the case in 1975 when the award was given to John Denver. In fact, Charlie Rich got all hot and bothered (literally!) when he had to announce Denver as the winner.

Well, I made it another week without being fired, so here's another Off the Trail Track for you. Every week we’ll select an album and showcase a song from it that you’re unlikely to hear on the radio any time soon, and give you the chance to listen to it here on our website.This week we're featuring Blake Shelton's "I Still Got a Finger" from his album 'Based on a True Story.'

The weather outside isn't frightful (yet), but the Country Music Association has just announced a delightful lineup for the special 2013 'CMA Country Christmas.' It includes some of country music's biggest stars, with the spunky Jennifer Nettles once again hosting the merry event.
