Headline Country

Episode GCHCA-101SP

ACM Preview 2009

It's Vegas baby, Vegas... and when the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards invade Sin City next month, "Headline Country" will be there front and center to see who takes home the jackpot.

But before we hit the strip to the roll the dice with country's best, we'll recap this year's nominees category by category in a special ACM Preview edition of "Headline Country."

From the top nominees (Brad Paisley and Heidi Newfield) to the reigning Entertainer of the Year (Kenny Chesney) to ACM newcomers (Jamey Johnson, James Otto, Jake Owen, Sarah Buxton, Julianne Hough, Ashton Shepherd, Eli Young Band, The Lost Trailers and Zac Brown Band) our special edition recaps each nominated artist's past year one by one and gives you the odds on which country stars are most likely to hit it big in Vegas.
