COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR ALAN JACKSON TO RECEIVE THE 2022 CMA WILLIE NELSON LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AT 'THE 56TH ANNUAL CMA AWARDS'

Country Music's Biggest Night(TM) to Broadcast Live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 8/7c on ABC

The Country Music Association has revealed its 2022 CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award recipient - chart-topping Country Music superstar Alan Jackson.

Jackson will accept the honor during "The 56th Annual CMA Awards," broadcasting live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9, on ABC. Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson will take the CMA Awards stage for an all-star tribute to the Country Music Hall of Fame member.

"We are thrilled to honor Alan Jackson this year with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award," says Sarah Trahern, CMA chief executive officer. "A three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, he is responsible for so many iconic moments in CMA Awards history. Just as Alan has been influenced by many Country legends throughout his career, he too has inspired a generation of artists to stay true to the authenticity of Country Music. We are so excited to bring Dierks, Jon, Carrie and Lainey together on the CMA Awards stage for what will surely be an incredible and touching tribute to an artist they each deeply admire. Having had the great fortune of working with Alan over the years, I am delighted we are honoring him with this milestone award next month."

The CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award is for an iconic artist who has attained the highest degree of recognition in Country Music. The award was established to recognize an artist who has achieved both national and international prominence and stature through concert performances, humanitarian efforts, philanthropy, record sales and public representation at the highest level. The artist receiving this award has positively impacted and contributed to the growth of the genre throughout a course of years that has proven to have an unprecedented historical impact on fans and industry alike.

Previous recipients of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award include Willie Nelson (2012), Kenny Rogers (2013), Johnny Cash (2015), Dolly Parton (2016), Kris Kristofferson (2019), Charley Pride (2020) and Loretta Lynn (2021).

Jackson's unmatched stature as a singer and songwriter flourished by deeply tipping his hat to the legends of his youth and boldly embracing his roots. Throughout his impressive career, he has blended the old and new in a unique style that is urban and rural, rugged and raw, and appeals to the large sector of the Country Music audience that reflects on the past for its musical influences.

Jackson has released more than 20 albums and collections - including forays into gospel and bluegrass - nine of which went multiplatinum with 2 million or more in sales. Those albums have led to one of Country Music's most decorated careers with three CMA Entertainer of the Year Awards (1995, 2002, 2003), two GRAMMY(R) Awards and memberships in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry, the esteemed Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Jackson was given the first ASCAP Heritage Award (2014) by the performance rights organization, recognizing him as the most performed Country Music songwriter-artist of the last 100 years. Jackson has charted 35 No. 1 hits, sold nearly 60 million albums, and is among the genre's most decorated and respected figures, with more than 150 awards.
