If you are a fan of Country Music then I hope that you tuned in to last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards where all the honors were given out to the best providers for the genre. As I’ve been showcasing these sorts of events this year I figured I might as well keep on going since many members of my family are big fans of this stuff. As most of you know, I dove into the heavier side of the musical fence but I still enjoy this stuff every now and again. Let’s take a look at the categories and the full winners list. All of this was culled from their own and related entertainment mediums for concise details. The awards were conducted in Las Vegas.
