"Forever Country" tribute to country music

For the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Association Awards, a new song and video have been recorded, to honor the tradition and integrity of country music, as one of the genres that is forever rooted in the fabric of American music, even if some of the original older melodies came from Scottish and Irish tradition, before being brought forth in certain areas of the American south such as the Virginia mountains, with The Carter Family, or the Mississippi Delta, with the original country music singer, Jimmie Rodgers, "the singing brakeman".  So many great songs have come since then, as have so many great artists.  This tribute for the CMA Awards is a small sample and features the following songs sung by the following artists.

John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again"
Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"

Contributing artists to the track, include stars from the past and the present. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, and others.
