I know this kind of country usually gets dogged around here but I don't find it as egregious as some. I was very glad to see Charlie Daniels in the opening act. And the 'New Vocal Group of the Year' was Glorianna and they featured pretty girl playing mandolin. (I'm sure somebody will post pictures in the Women in Mandolins thread.) Left handed no less.
Say what you want about it, it keeps a lot of the people we like to hear employed in session work around Nashville. I'm very intrigued by the talk of Dierks Bently going out on his next tour with the Traveling McCourys as his back up band. Not a first for them as the Del McCoury Band did it once before with Steve Earle.
Every once in while a pop country singer makes enough to be comfortable and go back to his roots, like Ricky Skaggs.
