"Luda&amp;apos;s gone country!&amp;#xA0;\r\nJason Aldean and guest rapper Ludacris will close Wednesday&amp;apos; night&amp;apos;s CMT Music Awards. The duo will perform a new version of Aldean&amp;apos;s hit &amp;quot;Dirt Road Anthem&amp;quot; at the show in Nashville.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve been a fan of Luda&amp;apos;s for a long time, so it&amp;apos;s really cool to get to work with him on the remix of &amp;apos;Dirt Road&amp;apos; and then perform it together on the CMT Music Awards,&amp;quot; Aldean, 34, told Us Weekly.\r\n&amp;quot;He absolutely killed his verse of the song,&amp;quot; the country star added. &amp;quot;And we&amp;apos;re both Georgia boys, so even though our music is totally different, our roots are the same. We both know about hot Georgia summers and cooling off with a six pack of two. It wasn&amp;apos;t that much of a stretch.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAldean leads the way with four nominations for this year&amp;apos;s awards, followed closely behind by Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and the Zac Brown Band with three nominations each.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe 2011 CMT Music Awards mark the 10th anniversary of the awards show and will be hosted by Kid Rock live Wednesday at 8/7 p.m. CST."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
