Watch this blistering rendition of the Charlie Daniels Band classic as performed on the 2009 CMA Awards broadcast.

The Zac Brown Band have become one of country music's biggest stars for their ability to write and perform songs that speak to the country music audience.  With their fourth single from The Foundation the band has taken on a reflective tone.  Does it work?

With two #1 hits, This edition of the Zac Brown Band's "Foundation" album also features two new live tracks that cover classic hits from Bob Dylan and The Band.  The album also features the next single, "Highway 20 Ride."

Today The Zac Brown Band announced that rock star Kid Rock will be joining them and other artists including Little Big Town, Kellie Picker and Joey + Rory in a benefit for the Georgia Theater, which burned down recently.  The show is October 30, 2009.

The CMA announced their latest round of performers for the 43rd edition of the Country Music Assoication Awards.  Tim McGraw and Vince Gill were announced along with six other acts, including rock band Daughtry.  Should a rock band be allowed on a country show?

It’s another strong week on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot 200 Albums and Hot Country Albums charts this week as superstar Toby Keith returns to the top charts with his latest album, American Ride. While that was a given, how did the other new releases fare this week?

It was another strong week at retail for country music as Reba McEntire's Keep On Loving You gave the genre its third chart-topping week, after the Number One debuts of Sugarland's Live On The Inside and George Strait's Twang.  How did the rest of the chart shake out?

After singin' about wanting their "Chicken Fried" and loving "Whatever It Is" about their women, the Zac Brown Band returns to the charts with "Toes."  Will this fun single, very much in the beacy vibe of Kenny and Jimmy, reach the top of the charts as well?

Listen to a sample of the Zac Brown Band's third single from "The Foundation."

As to be expected, Brad Paisley scored Country music's highest chart debut this week with his latest album "American Saturday Night."  While country music experienced another solid week, How Did Tanya Tucker's "My Turn" fare this week?
