The CMT Music Awards are an unofficial kickoff to the CMA Music Festival. Held each year at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, you can always expect the hottest artists in country music to show up, along with a few surprise guests. Kelly Lynn hit up the purple carpet leading up to the big event to talk to the artists about the unforgettable evening.  Join us on the carpet here.

LeAnn Rimes recently released her most personal album ever. LeAnn refers to Spitfire as an 'intimate conversation between her and whoever's listening.' The album features several special guests including Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 and Jeff Beck, along with Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski. Borrowed was the lead single off the album, which covers material that was very difficult for her to write. Kelly Lynn caught up with LeAnn to talk about the new project, which hit stores last month.  Listen in right here.

Bill Anderson is a true class act. Not only is he a member of the Grand Ole Opry and an accomplished performer, but he continues to write new material and collaborate with many new artists. Kelly Lynn had a chance to sit down with 'Whispering Bill' to talk about his first hit and what he did before his first 'real job' in the music business.  Check it out here.
