Stars line up for George Strait tribute

LAS VEGAS, March 25 (UPI) -- Brooks & Dunn, Jamie Foxx, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert have been added to the roster of a Las Vegas TV special honoring George Strait, CBS said.

Also set to perform on the "George Strait: ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert" are Jack Ingram, Jamey Johnson, Montgomery Gentry, John Rich, LeAnn Rimes, Blake Shelton and Lee Ann Womack.

Previously announced performers include Faith Hill, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Sugarland, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban.

The tribute special is to be taped at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas April 6, the night after the 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards show, which will be broadcast live on the CBS Television network. The Strait special is to air May 27 on the network.

Only four other acts have received the Artist of the Decade accolade -- Marty Robbins in 1969, Loretta Lynn in 1979, Alabama in 1988 and Garth Brooks in 1998. This marks the first time the honor will be presented in a separate television special, CBS said.
