The country songbird picked up a trio of trophies at the CMA Awards Tuesday night, including Album of the Year for There's More Where That Came From and Single of the Year for "I May Hate Myself In the Morning."

"Oh my god, I love country music!" Womack squealed as she accepted the award for Best Single. She also won the award for Best Musical Event for her duet with George Strait on "Good News, Bad News."

This year, the 39th Annual CMA Awards were uprooted from their traditional Nashville home and held in New York's Madison Square Garden for the first time in an effort to raise the profile of country music in a city that does not have a single radio station devoted to the genre.

"If you are listening to music that doesn't touch you, that doesn't mean anything to you, tune into your country music station," Womack urged the audience from the stage.

While an array of voices not known for their Southern twang made appearances at the awards--Bon Jovi, Norah Jones, James Gandolfini, Elton John, to name a few--the ceremony didn't stray far from its down-home flavor.

Performances by country stalwarts such as Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Gretchen Wilson, Sara Evans and Rascal Flatts ensured that the night appealed to true fans.

Sexy cowboy from Down Under Keith Urban took home the coveted prize of Entertainer of the Year, as well as Male Vocalist of the Year, while Redneck Woman Wilson won Female Vocalist of the Year.

Toby Keith won Video of the Year for "As Good As I Once Was," and Dierks Bentley won the Horizon Award for emerging artists.

Song of the Year went to "Whiskey Lullaby," written by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall.

Brad Paisley, who went into the awards tied with Womack for most nominations with six apiece, was shut out Tuesday and went home empty handed.

"Rhinestone Cowboy" singer Glen Campbell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame along with Grand Ole Opry star DeFord Bailey and Alabama.

The awards show's shift to the Big Apple was a one-shot deal--the ceremony will return to Nashville next year for its 40th anniversary.
