Stapleton won Song of the Year and Single of the Year for “Starting Over” and took album of the year for his record of the same name. He also won trophies as producer on the single and album.

Eric Church and Chris Stapleton are on top, tied with five nominations apiece.

Chris Young has released a video to “Raised on Country,” his nostalgic Merle- and Willie-name-checking single released earlier this year. The throwback video features the Grand Ole Opry member performing the song within the sparse vocal booth of the legendary country music radio station Wsm as he pays tribute to everyone from George Strait to Joe Diffie and quotes portions of Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee.”

Co-written with Corey Crowder and Cary Barlowe, “Raised on Country,” which is expected to be included in Young’s yet-to-be announced next album, has already...

Eric Church’s evocative new video for “Give Me Back My Hometown” hints at some deeper story than the song’s lyrics alone. The mid-tempo, building track, from the lyrics, seems to strike out at some romantic interest who has skipped town, but her ghost remains and Church can’t walk through town without being haunted by the memory of everywhere they used to go, like the Pizza Hut. In the Peter Zavadil-directed video, the story takes on a more sinister tone. It opens at a funeral and travels back in time as a murder mystery involving townies and carpetbaggers who come and take...

Eric Church will host the premiere of the short film Mixtape on Cmt this week. Mixtape sheds light on the story behind Church's hit song 'Springsteen', in which he reflects on his childhood and first love.

Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — Eric Church is playing movie host on Cmt. The country star is helping the network air the mini-movie "Mixtape" commercial-free this weekend.

The movie will air Saturday and Sunday and then can be watched on demand at the network's website. Church will host an online contest in conjunction with the premiere and is giving away two tickets to his tour....
