I’m back with my regular feature on Country Music News Blog now, with my two cents on the problems with major country award shows, and more specifically the artists who should win and don’t.
I’m really interested to know what all of you think about my choices, my stance, and who you would like to see winning more country awards, be it CMAs, ACMs, ACAs or CMTs, so let me know in the comments, tweet me, or comment on the article I’ve linked. Enjoy!
Country artist and Texas native Templeton Thompson is garnering attention from fans around the world through the success of her breakout debut video, ‘When I Get That Pony Rode’.
“I am so humbled and overjoyed by the reaction we’ve experienced with this video,” said Thompson. “When we shot the video, I believed we had a great product, but I never imagined we would see so much love and support from fans from all over the world.”
This week will mark the seventh week in a row that ‘When I Get That Pony Rode’ has aired on fan-voted GAC’s Daily Countdown. On Tuesday, April 30, Templeton Thompson joins host Suzanne Alexander on GAC’s Daily Countdown.
