Country superstar Trace Adkins kicked off his Honky Tonk Badonkadonk Tour over the weekend to a sold-out crowd in Burlington, Iowa. He continued to wow packed houses throughout the weekend with stops in LaCrosse, Wisconsin and Waterloo, Iowa. This week, Adkins will make another sold-out performance when his tour rolls into Columbus, Ohio on Thursday, January 26.

The 2005 chart topper by Tim McGraw, "Live Like You Were Dying," won Song of the Year, and Craig Morgan won the Mainstream Country Artist award at the 11th Annual Inspirational Country Music Awards Show. A star-studded list of performers hit the stage of Nashville's famous Ryman Auditorium, including Wynonna and Natalie Grant, who sang a soulful duet called "Bring It All Together."
