Johnny Reid is still Canada's fan choice

Lanarkshire born Johnny Reid claimed the Canadian Country Music Association's Fans' Choice award for the fifth time in the last six years at last weekend's annual awards show. Johnny was also awarded for the Biggest Selling Canadian Country Album of the year for his Christmas Gift To You album.
Meanwhile Alberta based Gord Bamford  took home two top awards Sunday at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards show in Edmonton, and he announced he has signed a deal with the American arm of Sony Music.
Bamford won Male Artist of the Year and Single of the Year for his slow-moving track When Your Lips Are So Close. The tune hit Number 1 on the country charts in just eight weeks.
Gord was also presented with the Nashville based CMa with their Global artist Award.
Jess Moskaluke grabbed her first CCMA trophy for Female Artist of the Year. The pop-country lass from Langenburg, Sask., recently saw her single Cheap Wine and Cigarettes go gold.
Nova Scotia-based Dean Brody was given Album of the Year for Crop Circles, the same album that snagged a Juno back in March for country album of the year. He accepted the CCMA wearing his father's dusty cowboy hat.
Sibling-duo Small Town Pistols, Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson, who sang when they were younger with their father in The Wilkinsons, were honoured with Group of the Year. Amanda Wilkinson, seven-months pregnant, joked on stage about being so excited she might go into labour.
The Rising Star award went to Tim Hicks, a 35-year-old country rocker from St. Catharines, Ont.
