The 55th Annual American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Country Music Awards were held on Monday, November 6, 2017, at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

The writers and publishers of country music's most-performed songs of 2016 were honored before an audience of distinguished Nashville songwriters, top country artists and music industry leaders (from official press release).

From The Tennessean:
The highlight of the night ... was a touching tribute to the late Glen Campbell. As archival footage of Campbell played on the screens behind him, legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb performed "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," which he wrote and Campbell recorded.
