Country Strong At 54th Annual Grammy Awards



What you might have missed from the 54th Annual Grammy awards would have had jaws dropping or maybe not. To sum it up in these words, country music did reign the show. Country Legend and icon Glenn Campbell took to the stage in what would be his last television appearance due to Alzhiemer's which he was diagnoised with last year. The Band Perry and Blake Shelton made the tribute performance a memorable moment for Glenn, one of the biggest highlights of the night, it left the crowd in a standing ovation. Taylor Swift took to the stage to perform her mega hit "Mean" which won for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song, while Lady Antebellum's album "Own The Night" won for Best Country Album. Newcomers The Civil Wars were the night's biggest surprise winning for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Folk Album for "Barton Hollow". Other winners include Levon Helm "Ramble at The Ryman" for Best Americana Album, Alison Krauss & Union Station "Paper Airplain" for Best Bluegrass Album,  and Tedeschi Trucks Band, "Revelator" for Best Blues Album. In other on stage performances Jason Aldean made quite a splash with Kelly Clarkson on their huge hit "Don't You Wanna Stay", absolutely captivating while Carrie Underwood had a jazzy moment with Tony Bennett.

Country Music Takes The Reigns At The 54th Annual Grammy Awards



The talk is all about the 54th annual Grammy awards, I can honestly say country music is the dominating force this year, as we have seen country music at it's best in 2011. The appeal of such incredible music from the artists we love has opened the flood gates taking us on what is the impossible journey. The likes of Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton have truly risen to superstardom, both artists have seen many high's and low's in their careers however not stopping them a long the way only paying due's and those dues have paid off in a big way. Shelton took on the judging duties in it's first season of  the hit new vocal competition The Voice last year long side Adam Levin, Christina Aguilera, and CeeLo Green, married his long time love Miranda Lambert and released Red River Blue in which spwaned the widely mega hits  "God Gave Me You and "Honey Bee". Blake has previously won Male Vocalist of The Year two years standing from the country music association. Shelton is currently on the road in his Well Lit & Amplified tour.  Blake has 3 grammy nominations for  Best Country Song "God Gave Me You" songwriter Dave Barns, Best Solo Performance "Honey Bee" and for Best Country Album "Red River Blue", Blake's the man!

Jason Aldean has risen to the top in the past year and what a year, truth is Aldean is having a party, his Kinda Party no pun intended. The My Kinda Party hit maker released songs that have defined country music in 2011,anthem of all anthems "Dirt Road Anthem", "Don't You Wanna Stay" with pop star Kelly Clarkson and "My Kinda Party" all that have reached multi platnium status. Aldean is greatful for the music  and his fans, speaking about the fans, which I throw out quite a bit, Aldean's My Kinda Party tour continues to roll on taking with him on the road Luke Bryan and Lauren Alania. Jason recieved 3 grammy nominations for Best Country Solo Performance  for "Dirt Road Anthem", Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Don't You Wanna Stay" with Kelly Clarkson, and for Best Country Album "My Kinda Party". Incredible to say the least.
Taylor Swift continues to shine on among the dominating male artists of country music, the class Swift posesses is beyond incredible, the impact on her fellow peers has left an everlasting impression in country music. The reigning entertainer of the year, billboard's artist of the year scored 3 grammy nominations this year for  Best Country Solo Performance and Best County Song for the hit song "Mean" as well for Best Country Album for the triple platnium album Speak Now. Swift will remain to move on right ahead regardless of the outcome from this year's grammy ceremony.

In other categories, Thompson Square, Kenny Chesney, Vince Gill, Trace Adkins,Eric Church, Lady Antebellum, George Strait, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry, The Civil Wars, EmmyLou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Levon Helm, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Jim Lauderdale, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Del McCoury Band, Ralph Stanley, Chris Thile, Gregg Allman and Steve Earle have all been nominated for a grammy.

Lost But Not Forgotten

Many artists have influenced us over the years, I contemplate those who have been seen but not heard in over a decade in country music. Still there's no shortage of music these days,however so many you just want to hear again and when you do it's very little of.  I get the notion how contempary and moderen country music is or has become. Yes,traditional country music is coming back from the likes of Brantely Gilbert, Justin Moore, Eric Church, and Kellie Pickler, yet you just would love to hear a powerful honkey tonk, banjo playing traditonal to the core song such as Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin". I've compiled a list of artists right here, and you may just be surprised with who you've listened to over the years and would love to hear again.

Crystal Gale

Tom T. Hall

The Dixie Chicks

Jessica Andrews

Billy Gilman

Bill Anderson

Little Jimmy Dickens

The Wilkinsons

Denna Carter

Holly Williams

Hilary Williams

Danielle Peck

Gretchen Wilson


Surely, those on the list are far from their glory days of producing fine music, however have crafted music through different avenues creatively speaking,and well, others who still perform  locally. The door does open and again they will walk through and delight us with music and song.

The Heart of Country Music

Country music is at it's finest these days with the likes of Kellie Pickler, Miranda Lambert, Brantley Gilbert, Jason Aldean, to name a few  stars in country music,one thing for sure we can't count out those who made the waves early on when country music began. Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, June Carter,Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, even Loretta Lynn. There will never be a shortage from the country crop where as we're hearing from some great new comers on the country music scene, Sunny Sweeney has a real authenticity to her appeal, it very much so reminds me of her fellow counterpart Loretta Lynn; that southern twang is down right pleasurable. An album must have on my wish list this year.
Another talent making it bright on music row new comer Sonia Leigh who I'm reading up on,I'm  really diving in getting to know more on her. You never know who's going to appear or even to be mentioned  in Country Weekly Magazine. More so these days George Straight has appeared more on the cover than an artist to date. What's so fascinating about this man?, I ask myself this question often. The one and only answer,the songs,there well written. Any George Straight song ever heard I can pin point the one's I grew up listening to,"Check Yes Or No", "I Cross My Heart", and" All My Ex's Live In Texas"; by far though the one's I have truly fell in love with "River Of Love" and "I Saw God Today", icon, yes!! Country Weekly brings great taste of country music to my finger tips,it's no wonder I read from cover to cover. My true passion for country music,well,shall I say all music is my guilties pleasure.

Traditional Times

Real country music isn't in number one hits, it's pure and simple from the artists themselves, what defines them musically and artistically. The traditional sound of what was once the main core of country music is well alive again found in artists such as Dierks Bentley, Jamey Johnson, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Kellie Pickler, Danielle Peck, Billy Currington, Jake Owen, Randy Houser to name a few in today's saturated popped up country world. Country music is wide in variety these days, many would agree to disagree, everyone is entitled to their opinions. The days of Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr., Porter Wagner, Willie Nelson,Johnny Cash,Tom T. Hall, June Carter Cash,Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson,Crystal Gale,Tanya Tucker, Dolly Parton still live on and within us, those traditional times are still here,and the place to get it, online; through out the endless social network. It's great to be a good ole boy and a coal miner's daughter. Kickin' back in you're rocking chair singing or humming along to "Rose Garden", "Your Cheatin Heart", "Harper Valley P.T.A" and other's is just down right enjoyable and remembering the days that were carefree. Whether you're purely into traditional country music or pop/country there's plenty to go around,there is simply no shortage in country music.
