Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews to Duet on CMA Awards
The Dave Matthews Band's mix of acoustic rock and jazz and their reputation for fun and lengthy concerts has made them one of the biggest touring acts of the last decade. And honestly, I think their music could fit in easily at any current country music festival. Matthews is already a Farm Aid board member, but now that it's been announced that he will appear with Kenny Chesney to sing their recent duet, "I'm Alive," on the 43rd annual CMA Awards, I wonder if he is considering more involvement for the band in the country music industry. Not that they need to "go country." With over 32 million albums sold and 16 million concert tickets, they have a sizeable and die-hard fan base. But fans do get older and the tastes of college-aged concertgoers is bound to change eventually. So it seems like a possibility for the future. What do you think?

Well that seems appropriate, another non country act on a Pop Country awards show. Hey? why not. Actually it seems to fit nowadays. And I obviously disagree that their music would fit in easily with any current country music festival. I just don’t see that happening.

Love it!!!!
shar says:
I loved it the first time I heard this song
sam says:
who do you like? Brad, Carrie? Now thats overrated. If Dave Matthews and Kenny Chesney are so over rated then explain their popularity, and massive sell outs and album sales??? If anything they are underrated. And tradistionalist fans, well nothing except George and Alan Jackson will please you.

katie says:
love the song
Shannon says:
I absolutely love the song. But last night I truly believe that the sound system or something was off. To me it looked like Kenny ended the song early & by the look on Dave’s face he knew it and agreed with it. All in all I hope I get to see them perform that live one day. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Oh and by the way neither one of them are overrated!!!!

I think that anyone who tries to put a NEGATIVE spin on such a positive song, is pathetic. If you dont like this song why did you click the link to watch it. Thank you to all the givers in the world who try to make the world a better place.
