CMA Award winners

How do his record label bosses explain this one?
Keith Urban, whose UK label actively promoted him as a Non-Country artist, took home the big prize at Tuesday night's CMA Awards, claiming the Entertainer of the Year trophy. He also won the the Male Vocalist of the Year award, and the International Achievement award.
The much more Country Gretchen Wilson won Female Vocalist of the Year.
Despite her recent recordings failling at radio, and on the charts, Lee Ann Womack took home three awards: Single of the Year ("I May Hate Myself In The Morning"), Album of the Year (There's More Where That Came From) and Music Event for her duet with George Strait ("Good News, Bad News").
Dierks Bently, the Grand Ole Opry's newest member, who will be in Glasgow in January, won the Horizon award.
Show hosts Brooks & Dunn won Vocal Duo of the Year (again !), Rascal Flatts took Vocal Group of the Year honors; Song of the Year was "Whiskey Lullaby," written by Bill Anderson & Jon Randall (a hit for Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss).
We'll see the highlights, including Dolly Parton dueting with Elton John on BBC2 this Saturday night.
