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
Congrats to Chubby Carrier and his Bayou Swamp Band, winners of this year's Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album at the Grammy Awards! His latest effort is entitled "Zydeco Junkie" and it features special guests Jamie Bergeron and Geno Delafose.
