Comment:

As America recovered from the shock of 9/11, country music was our musical comfort food, doing what it always did best: reassuring us that life, love, and all the things we care about most, still go on. The Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association couldn't agree on the best song, single, band or entertainer of the year, but they did find common ground in naming Brooks & Dunn the best vocal duo, an award they won every year but one from 1992 through 2006. And from new faces like Steve Holy, Tammy Cochran, and Pinmonkey to bona-fide superstars like Travis Tritt, the Dixie Chicks, and Faith Hill, we've got all the hits that made 2002 a year to remember after a year we desperately wanted to forget.
