The Music and Memories of April 24

The ACM Awards broadcast on CBS last night was phenomenal. Lady A won the "Album of The Year" award for "Need You Now" which they deserved. WGNA Countryfest 2011 headliner Miranda Lambert won 4 ACM awards, and Carrie Underwood rocked!

She is less than 30 years old, and probably the most popular performer to come out of Fox's "American Idol", not to mention having one of the most powerful voices in country music, being able to cover a ballad like "Jesus Take the Wheel", and the more rockin' "Last Name". . Carrie Underwood, the singer-songwriter and also actress, from Muskogee, Oklahoma, is celebrati

Artists are now campaigning for votes for the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3.   I was quite impressed when I received Taylor Swift's press kit stacked with stats about why she deserves my vote.

It's up to the fans of country music to vote for the winners of the ACM Top New Solo Vocalist and Top New Vocal Duo or Group.
