CMA Award Show

Finally got around to watching the Country Music Award show from last Wednesday. As usual, great show.

For some reason, Kanye West was a target. Liked Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley singing that great old song that went:

"Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye.
Let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks,
'Cause Cowboys have manners and they don't interrupt."

Then, after awhile, Little Jimmy Dickens came out on stage and interrupted Brad paisley saying that Taylor Swift had the best video.

I wonder what brought all that out?


That Zak Brown Band out Charlied the Daniel on that rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." That was some pickin' and fiddlin'.

And, i saw the new face of Outlaw Country with Jamey Johnson who thought they'd never let a guy like him up on stage. He then did that great duet "Somewhere Between Jennings and Jones" with Kid Rock.

Brooks and Dunn did their final CMA performance as they call it quits.

About the only drawback was that there were too many slow song performances.

HALL OF FAME: Roy Clark, Charlie McCoy and Barbara Mandrell.

NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR: Darius Rucker

Musician of the Year: Mac McAnally

Male Vocalist: Brad Paisley

Then, Taylor Swift pretty well swept with album, music video, female vocalist and Entertainer of the Year.

And Kanye Was Nowhere to be Found. --RoadDog
