George Strait - ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert
“George Strait: ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert” is the
first TV tribute special to honor the ACM Artist of the Decade
winner. It was recorded in Las Vegas on April 6, 2009, the day
after the ACM Awards. Only four other artists have received the
Artist of the Decade accolade: Marty Robbins in 1969, Loretta
Lynn in 1979, Alabama in 1988 and Oklahoman Garth Brooks in 1998.
Brooks presented Strait with his Artist of the Decade hardware at
the concert. The event definitely lives up to the “all star”
moniker.
George Strait is honored as ACM's artist of the decade and
saluted by his peers, who perform some of his biggest hits in
concert. Performers include: Alan Jackson; Tim McGraw; Keith
Urban; Taylor Swift; Brooks and Dunn; Sugarland; Martina McBride;
Faith Hill; Toby Keith; LeAnn Rimes; Miranda Lambert; Blake
Shelton; Jamie Foxx; Lee Ann Womack; Dierks Bentley; John Rich;
Jamey Johnson.

the Decade” concert. The taped show aired May 27, 2009. (All

salute to George Strait aired at 7:00 on CBS. The famously
taciturn George Strait may not say a lot, but when he sings he
speaks volumes. The Texas-born troubadour rode into Nashville on
a song more than 25 years ago and is now the owner of an amazing
57 No. 1 singles on the country charts. It's no wonder the
Academy of Country Music selected him as its artist of the
decade, joining previous legends Marty Robbins (1960s), Loretta
Lynn (1970s), Alabama (1980s) and Garth Brooks (1990s).
Fortunately for Strait, he doesn't have to say much during the
night's all-star tribute. He gets to sit back and listen to a
who's who of country artists literally sing his praises.
