The organizers of the Arkansas Country Music Awards are giving 2019 Lifetime Achievement Awards to Conway Twitty, Patsy Montana, the Wilburn Brothers, Kye Fleming and Jimmy Driftwood. "All five have left a huge mark in country music and have made Arkansas proud," says country music journalist Charles Haymes. "From a giant country star to a Western cowgirl to a popular sibling duo to a top-notch hit songwriter to one of the greatest folk/country storytellers, this is an incredible mix of Arkansans."
