14/08/06 - Album Review: The World's Best Award Winning Country Volume 5

By Tim Holland

The Worlds Best Award Winning Country compilation series showcases songs from winners of various country music award shows throughout the world.

In it's fifth edition, this 18 track CD with bonus 11 track DVD features tracks from award winners from the last 12 months in Australia, the US and Canada. The artists include Bella, John Williamson and The Flood from Australia, The Road Hammers, George Canyon and Paul Brandt from Canada and US starts such as Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn and CMA Horizon Award winner Dierks Bentley.

If you aren't able to get CMC on cable television, this compilation's bonus disc gives you a great opportunity to see some of country's best new videos. It features Gretchen Wilson's power packed All Jacked Up (which features a guest appearance from our mate Two Foot Fred), Brooks & Dunn's ACM Award winning Believe and Troy Cassar-Daley's Going Back Home along with 8 others.

The album is in retail stores now and is distributed by Sony BMG Australia.
