Willie Nelson and Rick Rubin Are Nominated for a Grammy

January 11th 2007 in Americana, Legends, Music Bidness, News, alt.country

Typically I could care less about the Grammy’s. I mean COME ON! Hootie & the Blowfish, Milli Vanilli and Culture Club! Yeesh! But because because of a flash of musical perception, odds, or whatever…they sometimes get it right. This year the folks at the Grammys have a couple of winners..if they actually win that is.
Willie Nelson’s You Don’t Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Album and Rick Rubin has been nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classicalfor his work on Johnny Cash’s album American V: A Hundred Highways and the song “God’s Gonna Cut You Down”. He is also nominated in the same category for his work on albums from Neil Diamond, The Dixie Chicks, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The Grammy’s are pretty much a joke, it’s all about the money to them. Like you said, hopefully Willie & Rick get the recognition they deserve.

Yeah I know. It’s starting to sound like all Lucinda, all the time here at planet Twang. So what? Who am I to deny the power of Lu? (or her publicity machine at Lost Highway – how about some backstage passes for all this, huh?) Ms. Williams will be coming to the Big Apple on March 23 at Radio City Music Hall. Oh how I wish for a Rockettes choreographed rendition of “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.”

Well, sorta. Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price with opener Asleep at the Wheel will come to Radio City Music Hall for thier The Last of the Breed show on 3/22 the night before Lucinda Williams plays the same room the night after. This is going to be a great couple of days for country music fans in Gotham.
