Country Recording of the Year

Alberta-raised singer/songwriter Terri Clark has become a genuine platinum-selling star in Nashville. She continues to test herself as an artist, and her down-to-earth approach has made Terri a real fan favourite. She is a multiple winner of the much-coveted CCMA Entertainer of the Year trophy, and earned a JUNO nomination in this category last year for her hit "I Just Want To Be Mad." Her fifth CD, Pain To Kill, has attracted serious critical praise.

Since forming in Manitoba in the mid '90s, DOC WALKER have logged serious road miles, and their energetic brand of rockin' country has been eagerly accepted. 2001's Curve spawned several radio hits and earned them a 2003 JUNO nomination. "The Show Is Free," the first single from new disc Everyone Aboard, raced quickly up the charts. Doc Walker have collaborated with hitmakers Naoise Sheridan and Robert Ellis Orrall.

Saskatoon's Brad Johner achieved wide success in Canada as lead singer and one half of The Johner Brothers. They racked up three JUNO nominations and two CCMA victories over the course of a four album career. Now a solo artist, Brad continues to develop his craft, and Free has received plenty of critical praise and industry award nominations.

The potential of Fort McMurray native Aaron Lines earned him a Best New Country Artist/Group JUNO nomination in 2002 and a major tour with Paul Brandt. His very first single, "Love Changes Everything," was a major Canadian radio hit, and he continues to sharpen both his singing and songwriting skills. That is evidenced by his work on Living Out Loud.

The incredible career of Shania Twain just keeps on heading Up!. The biggest-selling female artist in country music history has racked up international album sales of over 60 million. The overflowing trophy cabinet of the pride of Timmins includes three 2003 JUNO Awards (Shania acted as charming host for awards night), with the much-coveted JUNO Fan Choice Award amongst them. Her most recent blockbuster album, Up!, has surpassed diamond in domestic sales, and has been certified gold or platinum in 24 other countries.
