They have also won a Grammy in 2006 for best country collaboration for the song "WHO SAYS YOU CANT GO HOME" with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland.==== ====Unlike classical music, rock music has the accented beats on the backbeats (2 & 4) of the bar. Usually the texture of rock is quite thick. Rock music also has a very dominant musical line. In most popular rock music the most dominant part is the vocal line.====
