30 Country Music Stars Come Together For 1 Powerful Music Video “Forever Country” – Watch

50 year ago, the Country Music Association Awards were formed. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, a special project was put into motion. A music video, that showcased the talent that has been around since the early years of the association, along with artists who are still performing today and all of these artists that will forever represent and be a part of Country Music.

They were able to get GRAMMY winning Director, Joseph Kahn to make the vision a reality. As with all of Kahn’s creations, he really was the mastermind behind it all. In the making of video, we see the idea for wanting all of these stars to sing a song that represented the last 50 years of Country Music, Kahn suggested a mashup of multiple songs to tie everything together. It makes for one emotional journey, especially with the imagery. The songs include Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again.”

The video was shot in front of green screens, and the end result is a beautiful work of art as we see cities being built and changing from town to town, as is much of the life of a touring artist.

The Ryman can be seen coming together and then fading away as life takes on this journey, but yet always lead back home.

The video ends with a shot of Dolly Parton, singing one of the most recognizable and global songs to date, one that she wrote herself “I Will Always Love You.”

The song encompasses all of these artists and every Country Music artist who ever was and will ever be. It represents the listeners and the relationship artists have with them, the industry, the life. Country Music.

Well lets see we have Old Dominion, RaeLynn, A Thousand Horses, The Doobie Brothers (Yes you read that right), Dustin Lynch, Little Big Town, and closing out the night and the festival is non other than……..LUKE BRYAN!!!!!!!!

Some of these artists may sound familiar while a few you are probably scratching your head about. You have heard their music before this I can promise you but you probably didn’t know they sang the song. Lets take a little in-depth look at each of these artists.

Stagecoach Day 3 Artist Spotlight

Old Dominion

Old Dominion is fairly new to the mainstream country scene as they hit the ground running with their #1 hit single “Break Up With Him.” They are currently touring and fresh off their 2016 Vocal Duo of the year award win at the ACMs. Old Dominion is taking the country scene by storm. Their current single “Snapback” just released about a month ago and is making huge waves! It is a catchy tune and could eventually earn them their second #1.

 

RaeLynn

Most of you probably have heard the name RaeLynn mentioned before on the country scene. She got her start on the hit TV show I where she was coached by country superstar Blake Shelton until her elimination in the quarterfinals. RaeLynn has also been known to show up unannounced at a few of her former coaches shows to surprise audiences. Here is her music video “For A Boy”.

 

A Thousand Horses

By now you have heard of A Thousand Horses or at least their songs anyway. They took mainstream Country Radio by storm in 2015 with their hit song “Drunk Dial” and “Smoke.” This past week they released their next single called “Southernality.” If this song is anything like “Drunk Dial” it should be climbing the country charts very soon. Keep an eye out for it on the charts and keep your ears tuned in to country radio and request it if you love it. Here is the music video for their current single “Southernality.”

The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers have brought us songs such as “Black Water,”Train Running” and “Listen to the Music.” This classic group is sure to put on an amazing set. Get ready to rock out country style and enjoy decades of music rolled into one set.

 

Dustin Lynch

Dustin Lynch returns to the Stagecoach festival after performing back in 2014. This year he brings with him a ray of #1 hits and a list of party songs. His current single “Mind Reader” is climbing the country charts and can be heard on mainstream country stations nationwide. If you aren’t hearing this single yet then call your radio station and request it. Lynch is known for past hits such as “After Party,” “Cowboys and Angels” and “Hell of A Night.” These songs are sure to be a part of his set somewhere as they are fan favorites.

 

Little Big Town

What can we say about Little Big Town that hasn’t already been said. Multi-Award winning group. Several #1 hits and former Stagecoach performers. LBB hit the Stagecoach festival for the first time back in 2009 with songs such as “Little White Church” and “Kiss Goodbye.” Since then they have had many more #1 and memorable songs at that. This year’s performance should see songs such as “Day Drinking.” “Pontoon” and their most recent hit “Girl Crush. While these are all amazing songs and well known keep your eyes out for their latest single to hit the stage “Pain Killer.” This song is sure to get the crowd going. Check it out below:

 

Luke Bryan

The man of the hour, Mr. Luke Bryan is returning to the Stagecoach Festival for the fourth year. His most recent performance was back in 2014. This multi-award winner and multiple #1 hit artist is sure to steal the show as he is not only the headliner for night 3 but he is also the man chosen to Close Out the festival. Luke Bryan has many songs to choose from but we are hoping he will grace the stage with songs such as “Home Alone Tonight,” “Strip It Down” and “Kick The Dust Up.” One thing we are sure of is, he is likely to play his current single just released last week titled “Huntin’,Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day.” If this song is anything like his past songs it will be #1 before we know it. One thing we are sure of is this will be an AMAZING performance for sure and a great show all around.
