It was actually her singing, “Back When We Were Beautiful” that got me to buy the CD.

To me, this reminds me when the CMAs (and country music) used to be great. Females are rarely featured in country–and (mature) female singer songwriters are even more rare.

Now the CMA performances seem to highlight big names only or collaborations with non-country artists. (was it last year that Rascal Flatts had TWO performances–one with Jamie Foxx on that horrible song??)

I fondly remember that award show too because of it.
