The CMA Awards paid tribute to the late singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett with a medley of some of his best-known songs.
Buffett, who died in September, had one of the most prolific music careers of anyone in his era.
A number of notable country music stars, including Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band and Mac McAnally, tipped their hats to Buffett’s legacy during the awards show on Wednesday night in Nashville.
You can watch Chesney and McAnally team up to perform Buffett’s “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and Jackson and Brown team up to perform Buffett’s “Margaritaville” and “Son of a Son of a Sailor” below.
If you’re a major Parrothead or just a casual fan, there was plenty to enjoy in this special tribute to one of the most beloved musicians of his generation.
This was the kind of awesome multi-artist performance that helps make a music-oriented awards show like the CMA Awards special.
