The official Grammy website has announced their nominations for next year's event. Of course, we don't give a crap about anythin' but the blues, so here are your nominees this year:
BEST TRADITIONAL BLUES ALBUM
Can't Shake This Feeling
Lurrie Bell
Live At The Greek Theatre
Joe Bonamassa
Blues & Ballads (A Folksinger's Songbook: Volumes I & II)
Luther Dickinson
The Soul Of Jimmie Rodgers
Vasti Jackson
Porcupine Meat
Bobby Rush
BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES ALBUM
The Last Days Of Oakland
Fantastic Negrito
Love Wins Again
Janiva Magness
Bloodline
Kenny Neal
Give It Back To You
The Record Company
Everybody Wants A Piece
Joe Louis Walker

Not a bad list, but obviously there's a bit of genre cross-leaping; some are not 'blues' per se, but we gotta work with what we got.
My picks for winners are Lurrie Bell for Traditional and Fantastic Negrito for Contemporary.
See you on February 12!
