2009 CMA Nominations Announced

I've never been a huge fan of country music. In fact, there was even a time that I hated it. That changed when I actually decided to try listening to it and found out there were some good songs out there. Of course that was a while ago and the same artists that I found intriguing aren't dropping many albums nowadays. My favorite was Shania Twain and her mega album, Come On Over. Of course that was 12 years ago and now there are several other country singers and albums that make people get up and two-step. I think that's a country dance. And for all of you country fans, the CMA has announced the nominees for their 2009 awards: 2009 CMA Nominations Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney Brad Paisley George Strait Taylor Swift Keith Urban New Artist Of The Year Randy Houser Jamey Johnson Jake Owen Darius Rucker Zac Brown Band Female Vocalist of the Year Miranda Lambert Martina McBride Reba McEntire Taylor Swift Carrie Underwood Male Vocalist of the Year Kenny Chesney Brad Paisley Darius Rucker George Strait Keith Urban Vocal Group of the Year Eagles Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Rascal Flatts Zac Brown Band Vocal Duo of the Year Big & Rich Brooks & Dunn Joey + Rory Montgomery Gentry Sugarland Album of the Year (Award goes to artist and producer) 'American Saturday Night' - Brad Paisley 'Defying Gravity' - Keith Urban 'Fearless' - Taylor Swift 'Love on the Inside' - Sugarland 'That Lonesome Song' - Jamey Johnson Single of the Year (Award goes to artist and producer) 'Chicken Fried' - Zac Brown Band 'I Run to You' - Lady Antebellum 'In Color' - Jamey Johnson 'People Are Crazy' - Billy Currington 'Then' - Brad Paisley Song of the Year (Award goes to songwriters) 'Chicken Fried' - Zac Brown, Wyatt Durette 'I Told You So' - Randy Travis 'In Color' - Jamey Johnson, Lee Thomas Miller, James Otto 'People Are Crazy' - Bobby Braddock, Troy Jones 'Then' - Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, Ashley Gorley Musical Event of the Year 'Cowgirl's Don't Cry' - Brooks & Dunn with Reba McEntire 'Down The Road' - Kenny Chesney with Mac McAnally 'Everything But Quits' - Lee Ann Womack with George Strait 'I Told You So' - Carrie Underwood with Randy Travis 'Old Enough' - The Raconteurs with Ricky Skaggs & Ashley Monroe Music Video of the Year (Award goes to artist and director) 'Boots On' - Randy Houser 'Love Story' - Taylor Swift 'People Are Crazy' - Billy Currington 'Start a Band' - Brad Paisley and Keith Urban 'Troubadour' - George Strait Musician of the Year Eddie Bayers Paul Franklin Dann Huff Brent Mason Mac McAnally Celebrate the 2009 CMA nominations by taking advantage of our Back To School discount.
