A bold moment in country music history. George Strait & Alan Jackson’s 1999 CMA performance of “M*rder on Music Row” called out the industry’s shift away from traditional country, live in front of the very people it criticized. A legendary, no-frills stand for real country music. It is a protest song lamenting the decline of traditional country music in favor of more pop-oriented styles, blaming record executives and commercial pressures for the loss of the genre’s roots. #CountryLegends #Mvrder

And the 2008 Single of the Year CMA Country Music Association award goes to...George Strait for "I Saw God Today" and "Troubadour" wins the Album of the Year. | George Strait
