Grammy Nominations for Jamey Johnson!
These nominations indicate to me that our voices are becoming heard! Our man got some Grammy love and got nominated for several awards...including Best Male Vocal (Macon), Best Country Collaboration (Bad Angel) and the big one - Best Country Album (The Guitar Song). I'm so happy for Mr. Johnson and more importantly for us. Maybe this is a sign that Nashville is listening to our grumblings about today's C&W music. Like I always say..."If you don't like todays Country Music...come sit by me."

...youre probably right
Watasha - i was a little over zealous thinking that Nashville may be listening. i was just happy our man got some recognition. i do know you are correct about the hollywood/NYC comment...JJ has gotten all kinds of good positive reviews from places that I never would have thought even listen or give the time of day to country music (GQ, NY Times, Wall St Journal, etc). Maybe someday Nashville will get a f*&^ing clue!

I don't think that Nashville is listening yet remember a Grammy is not a country music award, even though it is for best country album, Nashville has no say in who gets nominated, it's sad, but I think Hollywood and NYC are taking to JJ much better than Nashville is.
