At last year’s Grammy Awards, it seemed like every other “and the Grammy goes to …” was followed by the name of a country artist. With Miranda Lambert‘s ‘The House That Built Me’ doing well and Lady Antebellum‘s ‘Need You Now’ taking the cake in two major categories, it was a star-studded night for country fans everywhere. As the Staples Center prepares to roll out that red carpet once again, the Recording Academy has just announced the first group of performers for the 2012 Grammys, and nominees Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean are on that list.
Last night if you checked out the Grammy Nominee Concert for the Grammy Awards coming up, you might have seen this. But dang, it's good!

April 6, 2011 The Grammy awards are supposed to be about music, all music. I think they have become more about a seriously dull television show over the past few years. The announcement that Cajun/Zydeco and several other regional and real American music genres would no longer be recognized by the alleged music industry makes me very angry and hurts my soul. It was bad enough the Grammys didn't see fit to share winners in the Cajun/Zydeco category with a national TV audience before but to now basically say we don't want your kind at our party, for shame. Our friends at KATC visited with some of our local Grammy winners and got their take on the whole story.
