Så er de nominerede til Country Music Association Awards 2007 offentliggjort. Der er ikke mange overraskelser men det er værd at bemærke at Dixie Chicks er kommet ind i varmen igen, det kan skyldes at stemningen i USA er vendt fra at være for Bush til at være mod Bush og Irak krigen specifikt. De fleste er gengangere fra de sidste år, men der er da også nye navne på listen, hvilket altid er glædeligt.
Blandt de nominerede til Horizon Award, som er til nye stjerner finder vi bl.a. Kellie Pickler hvis debut album netop er blevet anmeldt her på Country World.
