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.”

2001

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.

2005

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.”

200_s

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.

Rascal Flatts– Arguably one of the most talented and long standing acts in Country Music and one of the most snubbed. They were the ACM Top New Vocal Group in 2000. and Top Vocal Group  2002-2005. They won again 2007-2008 and haven’t won since. This is their 11th nomination for Vocal Group of the Year. If they win, this will be their eighth trophy in this category.
