Willie Nelson, Rodney Atkins and Lee Ann Womack are among the more than 50 artists who have been enlisted for this year's WYCD-FM (99.5) Downtown Hoedown, May 15-17, at Detroit's Hart Plaza. The free 27th annual concert features 20 national artists and more than 30 local acts. "We have a great lineup with a cross-section of all types of genres of country music," says Tim Roberts, program director at WYCD.
