The list of nominees for the 41st annual CMA Awards was released and there were few surprises.  Kenny Chesney leads the nominees with 7 nominations including top noms for entertainer, male vocalist and album of the year.  Who else was nominated? click to find out.

Brad Paisley enlisted some of his 'hollywood' friends to make this award-winning video directed by co-star Jason Alexander. The song is from Paisley's "5th Gear" record.

Brad Paisley has always adored this song and had a vision for the video. Unfortunately, he couldn't get Andy Griffith to appear in it until now. It is the fifth single of the album "Time Well Wasted," which is not his current album "5th Gear."
