Theme Song
In 1977, ACL producers made "London Homesick Blues," written by Gary P. Nunn, the ACL theme song. The show originally used the version performed by Nunn, but the song was rearranged several times starting in the mid-1990s. The current theme, beginning with the show's 30th season, is an original composition by Austin musician Charlie Sexton.

I summon’d am to a tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end:
Methinks it is no journey.”
