FROM CMT.COM - Nashville certainly lived up to its name of Music City while celebrating Earth Day Wednesday evening (April 22) as Keith Urban, Faith Hill and Dierks Bentley joined Big & Rich's Kenny Alphin to use the power and gift of music to help underprivileged children in Africa. Urban, too, shared his concerns prior to the show, noting, "I certainly have a passion for children's causes. We've been with St. Jude for a few years now, and the W.O. Smith Music School here in Nashville, and so when I learned about the work Kenny's been doing with the kids in Africa -- Uganda and Sudan, in particular -- I looked for a way that I could be involved, and he mentioned this concert was coming up. And here we are."

The night's show was filled with several of the artists performing their own hits, including Urban's "Somebody Like You" and Bentley's "Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)." Alphin performed several songs and duets and also sang "Last Dollar (Fly Away)," a song he wrote that became a No. 1 hit for Tim McGraw.
