Country music's biggest stars will honor the King of Country at tonight's CMA Awards in Nashville.  George Strait is slated to receive the CMA's "Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award." The award is given to an artist who's known for their successful career in country music.  Previous recipients include Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Alan Jackson.   Look for a star-studded tribute to King George, though the CMA is keeping the performer list close to the vest.
