The old and new will blend in a busy night of music. Want tradition? Prior to his death, Johnny Cash was nominated for four awards, including best single and album. The show's Cash tribute has Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, his good friend Kris Kristofferson, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr. and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Then there's Dolly Parton, who is up for top female singer. She'll do a solo with young pop star Norah Jones. Bluegrass' Rhonda Vincent sings backup.

Still, country is also about the new. This year's Horizon Awards field is strong, with Blake Shelton, Buddy Jewell, Darryl Worley, Gary Allan and Joe Nichols.
