Just saw this on youtube…it’s Carrie Underwoods newest single from her new album, Play On. Not sure how I feel about it yet…just thought I’d share.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the nice comments about George Strait’s music…but….”El Rey” is not a “country song” and IMO shouldn’t be nominated in that category. His latest single “Living for the Night” should definitely be instead. As for “El Rey”, don’t they have Mexican or Hispanic music categories?? Perhaps it could get a nomination there???

there is no category called contemporary folk/americana. last spring, the Recording Academy announced that the next Grammy awards will include, for the first time, the Best Americana Album, fully acknowledging the genre. check out the USA Today article titled Grammys will put Americana on the map… from monday for more details…

Lee Ann Womack could sneak in there with ‘Solitary Thinkin,’ The great thing about the Grammy’s is the song doesnt need to be a hit to be nominated, like ‘What I Cannot Change’ from last year. I would hope the Womack’s ‘Call Me Crazy’ would get nominated but if I recall correctly, her masterpiece ‘There’s More Where That Came From’ didnt even get nominated during its eligable year. ‘Dead Flowers’ would be welcomed in the female category for me, and Billy Currington, ‘People Are Crazy’ for male.

Live recordings are eligible. Actually, it's common for songs which should have been rewarded in their studio incarnations to later get nominated/win when they're done live. That happened with Daft Punk and "Harder Better Faster Stronger" this past year, and I think it might have been how Keith Urban was able to nominated two years in a row for "You'll Think of Me" (he released a version from Livin' Right Now).

Razor: I believe that John Mayer’s live cover of Free Fallin’ was nominated last year, it may have even won.

I think that Taylor will get an all-genre album of the year nomination. Her album was very well reviewed, and she is a critic’s darling.
