Joey + Rory Feek Receive an ACM Awards Nomination
Congratulations are in order to Joey + Rory Feek who have just received an ACM Awards nomination for Vocal Duo of the Year. The husband and wife duo are nominated at this year's ACM Awards alongside Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line and Maddie & Tae. The 2016 ACM Awards will broadcast live on April 3 from Las Vegas on CBS at 8PM ET.
This award nomination follows on the hills of their 2016 Grammy Nomination where Joey + Rory found themselves up for Best Country Duo/Group Performance category with their song "If I Needed You."
Rory Feek shared the good news, as well as a sweet note, with fans on Facebook: "... Woke my bride up this morning with a baby in my arms and the news that our version of 'If I Needed You' was nominated for a Grammy. As her excitement and tears flowed into mine. She said, 'how can that be? ....the song received no radio airplay ... no press ... no critical acclaim ... and the only music video we made for it was to celebrate the day our little Indiana was born. God is so good. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Meanwhile, the Feeks will be releasing their final seventh album, Hymns That Are Important to Us. In our review of the album, "Rory and co-producer Joe West must be applauded for doing an excellent job in making these recordings sound cohesive and never jejune. If you had not known about Joey's condition, you would not have guessed that the vocals come from a thing and frail lady who is at the throes of death. Together with a chorus of children, Joey sounds like she was in the pink of health when she delivers "Jesus Loves Me" with her western cowgirl verve. Similarly, the Southern Gospel favorite, "I'll Fly Away," receives a bluegrass kick from Joey. She showcases her crystalline voice on Will Thompson's "Softly and Tenderly," taking her time to nuance the different shades of emotions that we first feel when we first hear the call of Jesus Christ to come home."
Joey is currently suffering from terminal cancer. Since the cancer has spread, Joey has terminated all treatment. She is currently on hospice care.
