This week Jimmie Allen went from Dancing With The Stars to the 55th Annual CMA Awards – while he didn’t make the cut on the dance floor – he did just fine on the stage of the Bridgestone in Nashville where we accepted the CMA Award for New Artist Of The Year!

Newly crowned CMA Award New Artist Jimmie Allen is climbing the country airplay chart with Brad Paisley who walked away with the same award in 2000 (then called the Horizon Award) – “Freedom Was A Highway.”
