We want your vote for the Musician of the Year at the 2018 CMA Awards!

A readers' poll to determine who should win Musician of the Year at the 2017 CMA Awards.

A readers' poll to determine who should win Musician of the Year at the 2016 CMA Awards.

The 2015 CMA Awards are coming up in November, and now that the nominees have all been announced, The Boot wants to know who our readers think will be taking home the trophy in each category, from Musician of the Year to the night's highest honor, Entertainer of the Year. Five exceptionally talented artists are nominated in the Musician of the Year category -- but only one will be walking away with the award.

Vince Gill and Paul Franklin have just released a very special new album, 'Bakersfield,' and they're offering one lucky fan the chance to win an autographed acoustic guitar.

Vince Gill announced earlier this year he was working on several new projects, including a bluegrass album. While he has numerous other musical endeavors on the horizon, the country legend, who has frequently paired with other artists to perform duets, is releasing an entire CD featuring himself performing with one of his all-time favorite musicians, steel guitar player Paul Franklin.
