That's The Way Love Goes: The ACM will present the inaugural ACM Merle Haggard Spirit Award to a TBA recipient at the 10th Annual ACM Honors, which tapes Aug. 30 from Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and airs Sept. 9 on CBS-TV. "Merle passed shortly after our 2016 awards show and after this year's Special Awards were announced," says Board President Ken Tucker. "That said, there was simply no way the Academy could hold what may be its most heartfelt event – ACM Honors – without creating a lasting way to acknowledge his legacy. Celebrating and encouraging artists whose work echoes Merle Haggard's indomitable spirit is beyond fitting. On behalf of the board, and with the blessing of his family, we are thrilled to create this important honor."
