Taylor Swift and Jamey Johnson will be among the galaxy of Country music stars performing this weekend at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville. What sets them apart from the crowd? Music writer Chet Flippo insists that they're "the best things to hit Country music in recent history." And he makes a strong case for that claim here.
Looking elsewhere: The Tennessean notes that roughly 52,000 people a day are expected in downtown Nashville Thursday through Sunday for the various CMA festivities. But even more folks will be converging at another musical extravaganza nearby. And not just because Merle Haggard will be performing there.
Jack Ingram -- the subject of a "Live From" Q&A in our June issue -- is looking forward to signing autographs and performing for fans at the CMA Fest. "Only in country music do the artists come together to celebrate the fans," Jack says. "To see all the stars coming together in a place and throwing a party for the fans, well, that's cool. I love being part of letting the people who love this music know how much they mean to us."
