Piercing Ken Thoughts: As I’ve noted before back in the rundown of the nominees when we ran that, I don’t get to listen to a whole lot of Country Music but I do like some stuff and enjoy it as a nice change of pace. So are you readers happy with the winners in this years broadcast? Did your favorites take home the trophy or were they cheated from it? Chime in down below because I’d love to hear from you about it. I plan on looking into the winners list on my Spotify when I need a breather from the pounding Metal that I always focus to. Thanks for reading.
