We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.

As we prepare for Country Music's Biggest Night, The CMA Awards, we take a moment to salute the former CMA Male Vocalist of the Year winners.

The CMA Awards show performances are usually dominated by the hot young acts of Country Music. However, two legends have been invited to perform at the 2013 awards to pay tribute to a Country Music Hall of Famer.

George Strait is the country legend, and it shows through ticket sales. Fans are jumping on board for a final chance to see him live on his Cowboy Rides Away Tour, which is, unsurprisingly, selling out quickly.

Looking at George Strait's illustrious career, you may wonder if he's ever had any regrets, because with 26 studio albums, it really does seem like he's done everything right.

If George Jones were still alive, he'd likely be mighty pleased to see the talented roster for his farewell concert.

George Strait's 2014 Cowboy Rides Away Tour dates were revealed during a press conference on Monday (Sept. 9). This is Strait’s final tour, and the singer announced 26 shows, set to begin on Jan. 9, 2014 and end in June or later with a to-be-determined date in Dallas, Texas.

George Strait doesn't do many interviews, but he did grant Billboard the rare chat in his new cover story. Strait has always maintained an air of mystery, preferring to let his music do the majority of the talking. But he does have a message for the music business and for fans.

The King of country music George Strait has 60 number one hits to his credit and after you hear his new song, #61 is coming.
