Today the CMA announced the additions of Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts and Wynonna to the nightly performance schedule of the CMA Music Festival events at Nashville's LP Fieldfor the event on June 11-14, 2009.  They join the numerous performers already announced.

Here's the original demo for this classic Judds hit. 

Covers albums are notoriously hard to gauge.  They're either brilliantly executed or completely tepid.  Fortunately for us, Wynonna's such album is far from tepid. But is it Country?

After the dismal failure of the Urban Cowboy era, a generation of "new traditionalists" -- George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, the Judds, Randy Travis, and Ricky Van Shelton -- brought country out of its post-Urban Cowboy doldrums by reminding young audiences what made the music great in the first place.
