15 Songs That Changed Country Music

(AP) - Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, The Band Perry and Tim McGraw will take part in an ABC special about the most influential songs in country music.

"Countdown to the CMA Awards: 15 Songs That Changed Country Music" will not necessarily be about the best-selling country songs, but songs across the decades that influenced country music.

Other acts who will appear on the special are Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line and Darius Rucker. Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride, Hunter Hayes and Kacey Musgraves will perform musical tributes.

The special airs November 3.
