Jamey Johnson, Kid Rock and Martina McBride are the latest additions to the list of performers at the 43rd annual CMA Awards taking place Wednesday (Nov. 11) in Nashville. McBride is expected to deliver a solo performance, but Johnson and Kid Rock will perform a duet during the show at the Sommet Center. Additionally, the Judds, Kris Kristofferson and Lee Ann Womack have been added as presenters. Johnson is nominated in four categories -- new artist, album of the year (That Lonesome Song) and single and song of the year (both for "In Color"). McBride is nominated for female vocalist of the year, an award she has received four times. She and Reba McEntire are tied for the most wins in the female vocalist category. The CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will be broadcast live on ABC.
