Darius Rucker is just one of the artists that will duet with Lionel Richie at the 2011 CMA Awards. He’s one of the many country artists that joined Richie to sing some of his classic hits on his upcoming ‘Tuskegee’ album that is scheduled to be released in March.
Brad Paisley are Carrie Underwood are facing some downright nasty competition (if one believes they are truly competing for their jobs as CMA co-hosts). In the just released commercial for the November 9 broadcast, Miss Piggy throws open the audition room door and proclaims the job hers.
If ‘American Idol’ winner Scotty McCreery keeps this pace up, he’ll be performing the halftime show at the Super Bowl before long.

More country music favorites have been confirmed to perform at the 2011 CMA Awards, which are set to take place in Nashville on November 9. The latest additions to an already enviable list of performers include the Band Perry, Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Thompson Square and Eric Church.
The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, and Miranda Lambert will join the star-filled lineup at the 2011 CMA Awards in November, reports The Boot. What a difference a year makes, especially if you’re the Band Perry! Just last year, the trio — individually known as siblings Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry — first attended the CMA Awards to perform their hit song ‘If I Die Young’ and compete for Group of the Year honors. This year, the trio is nominated for five awards, including Single and Song of the Year for ‘If I Die Young.’

The nominees were announced Tuesday at a pair of live events. Jake Owen and the Band Perry revealed the nominations for five categories during their joint appearance on ‘Good Morning America,’ then Jerrod Niemann and Thompson Square handled the rest from the Ryman in Nashville later in the morning.
