I am a sucker for Frankie Ballard. I'll admit it with zero shame. He's the right mixture of bad boy and sweetheart...and the James Dean 60's hair and look..fuuuhhhhgget about it! (The fact that I had James Dean and Elvis Presley posters all over my room with the black and white checkered floors as a teen might explain my little crush here)

The CMT Music Awards are less than two weeks away and Frankie is up for 'Breakthrough Video of the Year' for his hit that we all love and play, 'Sunshine and Whiskey'.

A little known fact about part of my connection to Frankie Ballard lies with Mike, who is with me every morning on Joni + Company.  Mike was playing Frankie's first hits in Michigan before he actually got his big start! Mike and Frankie go way back, so much so, that when Frankie Ballard was here in the QC at the iWireless Center opening for Florida Georgia Line, he dedicated a song to him on stage!

He is so down to earth, so creative and just an all around great guy who I feel should win this award. VOTE HERE for Frankie Ballard to win a CMT Music Award and lets show him some of that QC love! <3
