Looks like I didn’t miss much! 😉
No, I didn’t forget or go Christmas shopping, y’all. 😆 We were out for dinner & drinks with old friends. Besides, I’m not much of one for awards shows.
I’ll miss Sunday night, too. We are going to see Dawn Landes & Justin Townes Earle…

Details of last night’s show. Lucinda, Emmy Lou, and Patty Griffin performed Comes A Time
Full article at link. Will post this link in the NEIL! thread as well.

The twangy harmonies of Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams graced Comes a Time.
Here is a link to an article about Lu’s Grammy nomination & the new Americana category…
Tom
man, I just stayed up watching the grammys and they didn’t even mention the contemporary folk, americana, or any of the other less popular categories. were the nominees at the grammys? because I didn’t see any of them! where was lucinda? and steve earle? and neko case? and levon helm? and derek trucks? did anyone catch a glimpse?
Oh, you didn’t see Paul’s post about the spoiler? The Americana category was one of many that was awarded pre-show. Levon Helm took the Grammy.
Lucinda, you should be so proud to have been nominated and in such stalwart company. It was a great category with musicians I think you truly respect.
Peace, love, and keep writing music that fills our soul.
Yes, Lafayette, we were all disappointed with the results in the Americana Album of the Year category. Nonetheless, Lu should indeed be very proud to have been included in such spectacular company as the other nominees…
Tom
Oooh, pre-show huh? Laaaaame. I wanted to see the camera zoom in on all their faces as they got mentioned as nominees. I really don’t care about seeing taylor swift and beyonce over and over again! But yes, congrats to Levon Helm, and to Lucinda, for being a part of that. It must have been a fun time for all of them.
There is a clip of Taylor Swift singing a duet with Stevie Nicks that is very painful to listen to. Whatever talent Taylor Swift has, her voice is another thing altogether. 🙄
Okay, I didn’t see the performance, but based on Taylor Swift’s performance on SNL, I believe that she can’t really sing. There’s clearly a ton of production involved on her albums, because she doesn’t sound nearly as good live. And I just flat out don’t like her songwriting. Sorry, all you Taylor Swift fans out there. 8)
Anyway, there’s an interesting blog entry here about her winning album of the year: http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/turn_it_up/2010/02/taylor-swift-and-the-grammys-is-that-all-there-is.html
Perhaps best of all are a couple of the comments about her, and about her duet with Stevie Nicks. About her, someone said “Taylor Swift is to music what Stephenie Meyer is to literature.” About the duet, someone said “They put her on the same stage as Stevie Nicks? That’s like a fire hydrant painter doing his work alongside a Picasso class painter.”
