Iconic country musician Willie Nelson will celebrate his 80th birthday on April 30. He marked the special occasion by taping a special for CMT in Nashville last week. Nelson was joined by an all-star roster for a special episode of CMT Crossroads titled 'Willie Nelson and Friends from Third Man Records.'
Congratulationss are in order for country heavyweights Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. These seven artists have been selected as the 2012 CMT Artists of the Year. Each one had a banner year, so they certainly deserve this impressive and important accolade for a variety of reasons.
Here is a sneak peek at Jason Aldeans newest music video "Fly Over States"! The full video can be seen on Friday March 16th 9:30 am on CMT! He is also on the front cover of Country Weekly which also comes out Friday

We've discussed this before. There are WAY too many awards shows for my liking. It seems as if EVERYBODY gets an award of some sort. I'm not saying they aren't talented... I'm not saying they don't deserve it... for the most part. I'm saying it dilutes the meaning of an award when everybody gets one. That being said, congratulations to ALL of the winners of the latest in a long line of awards, the CMT Teddy Awards.
February 14, 2012 Lauren Alaina is a beautiful young (real young) lady with a big future in country music. Keeping in mind that it's Valentine's Day, there are a few things you need to know if you intend to even speak to Lauren Alaina. Take notes, gentlemen.

One of the great things about country music is the way the stars give back to the community. You may not hear about it, because it's not a grab for publicity. But I guarantee you, most of them are more than happy to give of themselves to help out, whatever the cause. Here's the perfect example.
January 13, 2012 It's always good to see good Texas artists do good on a national level. The Eli Youg Band has done better than good, having recently had their first number one single nationally with "Crazy Girl".
After more than 90 shows in Europe and South America performing as the lead singer of Journey, Filipino rocker Arnel Pineda recently told ABS-CBN morning show Kris TV that the American rock band is about to take a step toward a country collaboration. According to LazyRocker.com, Pineda said that Journey have plans in 2012 to perform with Rascal Flatts for ‘CMT Crossroads.’
Yet another awards show and I love it. There was a poll recently on CNN to see if people wanted less country music awards or stay the same. Well, the people have spoken and they want it to stay the same!

There’s no escaping Justin Bieber these days – not on the radio, not at a theater near you, not at the NBA All-Star Game and not at the CMT Music Awards, where the 17-year-old recently picked up an award for Collaborative Video of the Year.
Though some country fans might have been taken aback to see Bieber sharing a screen with Rascal Flatts in the video for “That Should Be Me,” he came by his affection for the genre the good old-fashioned way: from his mother.
“It’s great,” Bieber said after the show. “It’s so many people my mother admires, ’cause she loves country music, and I do too. So it’s really great to be here with Rascal Flatts.”
