My Selections for the Academy of Country Music Awards

Marquette – 03/28/12- There has never been a better time to be listening to country music then right now!!!! The music writing has a gritty, edgy rock – orientated feel to it (for the most part) with the unmistakable country vocals. I wouldn’t mind playing in a country band with the attitude this music genre possesses today.
