NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 27, 2009)—Texan George Strait will be saluted as the Academy of Country Music's artist of the decade in an all-star concert that airs tonight on CBS.

The show was taped last month in Las Vegas.

It features performances by Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Jamie Foxx, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride and more.

Garth Brooks, named artist of the decade for the 1990s, presented Strait his award. Strait joins only four other artists who have received this distinction: Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn, Alabama and Brooks.

Strait's career spans nearly 25 years and includes many classics, including "Amarillo By Morning," "The Chair" and "Give It Away."
