[Editor’s Note:  We like what we are seeing here.  Our 2023 nominees for the 57th Annual CMA Awards are certainly reminding us what country music really is.  Great seeing names like Lainey Wilson, who we think is awesome, Ashley McBryde, another great country singer, Chris Stapleton is still in the mix, and of course, Cody Johnson.  Way too many amazing artists to list them all in our note. I’m certain this will not be an easy task for voters, to select winners, I’m sure.  Check out this list, and then get ready for the televised awards show on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023 – ABC at 8 p.m. EST.)
