Great start by @ericchurch & @KeithUrban! “Pledge Allegiance to the Hag” and “Raise ‘Em Up” got things started.
He’s back! For 1 night at least. @GeorgeStrait performing “All My Exes Live In Texas” at the site of his final show!
Hey look, @cowboytroy got some face time on TV!
This is @GeorgeStrait‘s new single “Let It Go” – what do you think?
The first Milestone Award goes to @GeorgeStrait, who has won Entertainer of the Year in 4 decades! #ACMAwards50
Kinda surprised there wasn’t an opening monologue by @LukeBryanOnline & @blakeshelton…maybe after this commercial break? #ACMawards50

Wow! Performance of the night? @Reba now being recognized with her Milestone Award, having won Female Vocalist of the Year 7 times!
Glad to see @littlebigtown performing “Girl Crush” – all the “controversy” is very unfounded surrounding this song. #ACMawards50
That top worn by @LBTKaren, however…could be considered “controversial” #HottieAlert #WardrobeMalfunctionAlert #ACMawards50
Who did you vote for New Artist of the Year? @coleswindell @SamHuntMusic or @ThomasRhett? #ACMawards50
Love her or hate her, @taylorswift13 deserves this Milestone Award! #ACMawards50

That was one hell of a speech by Andrea Swift! You’ve done an amazing job raising @taylorswift13. #ACMawards50
A fairly short but grateful acceptance speech from @taylorswift13, who thanked the fans and the country music industry for supporting her.
Here’s @blakeshelton‘s new single “Sangria.” What do you think of it? #ACMawards50
Duet w/ @blakeshelton, appearance on @ABCNashville, and now the ACM Awards with @rascalflatts. Is @xtina going country? #ACMawards50
Nice to see @Clint_Black getting some love!
The ACM Award for Album of the Year goes to @mirandalambert for “Platinum”!
Here comes Garth!!!

This @garthbrooks song is called “All American Kid” from his Man Against Machine album, co-written by @craigcampbelltv! #ACMawards50
#Chills @garthbrooks always does it big! #ACMawards50
I think @garthbrooks has found himself a hit single from his new album! #ACMawards50
Most of today’s troops actually hate to be thanked for their service #Truth
. @garthbrooks ends his speech dedicating his Milestone Award to his home state of Oklahoma on the 20th Anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing.

Here we go! @KeithUrban introducing @Brooks_Dunn!! Can’t wait to see them back together! #ACMawards50
It’s about damn time @Brooks_Dunn #reunion #MyMaria #ACMawards50
Apparently the cut-off @BradPaisley performance was a local occurrence only caused by our local station squeezing in a commercial #fail
And @KeithUrban presents @Brooks_Dunn with their Milestone Award as they’re being rushed off stage #TimeManagementFail
Here we go. @IamStevenT announces that the Entertainer of the Year goes to @LukeBryanOnline! #ACMawards50

Ronnie McDowell Signs Deal with Disney Fine Art

Country hit-maker Ronnie McDowell, best known for his string of hits in the ’80’s including “Older Women,” is also an artist of the painting kind! After having a piece of his work discovered by the folks at Disney Fine Art, he has now signed a 5-year deal with the Disney company to produce artwork for them. His paintings will be seen in Disney parks and galleries all around the world!

“All of my kids are involved in this project,” says Ronnie, “My youngest daughter Athena told me I should do some paintings featuring Disney characters, so my youngest son Tyler and I came up with the idea of Walt leaving Kansas City making his way to California from Union Station at 8 o’clock with Mickey in front of him.” Ronnie Dean, my oldest son along with being my drummer and tour manager for 20 years now, gave me the idea for Elvis teaching Mickey how to dance on the Ed Sullivan Show.”

Disney Fine Art is available in art galleries throughout Europe, Japan and North America as well as Disney Cruise Line and Disney Theme Parks around the world.

Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard are teaming up again to release a new album on June 2nd! The album will be titled Django and Jimmie and will feature 14 tracks.

“Me and Merle got a new album coming out called Django and Jimmie and the title track is about Django Reinhardt and Jimmie Rodgers,” said Willie Nelson. “Both of those guys were very influential in both of our careers.”

According to Merle Haggard, there’s “new songs, a couple of classics and Willie sang like he was a teenager.”

Among the 14 recordings on Django and Jimmie, Nelson and Haggard each pay musical tribute to the other through heartfelt solo performances: Willie singing Merle’s “Somewhere Between” and Merle covering Willie’s “Family Bible.”
