Mountain Stage would like to congratulate some of our recent or upcoming guests on their Grammy Awards last night. We noted some of the nominees in an earlier post.
Longtime friend of the show Ramblin' Jack Elliott picked up a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album for his latest, "A Stranger Here."(click to purchase). You can hear Jack at the 2009 Newport Folk Fest over at NPR Music.
Slide-guitar great Derek Trucks and his band brought home the Best Contemporary Blues Album award for "Already Free." Click HERE to purchase on Amazon and hear his latest performance on Mountain Stage at NPR Music.
Loudon Wainwright III, who will join us for a recording on March 28 in Morgantown, WV, was awarded Best Traditional Folk Album for his CD "High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project." You can hear Loudon's most recent appearance on NPR music and dig "High Wide & Handsome" on Amazon. Click HERE to find tickets to see Loudon Live on Mountain Stage, along with The Grascals and Patty Loveless.
One of our favorite party-bands, Buckwheat Zydeco, reigned in the Best Zydeco or Cajun Album category with his latest "Lay Your Burden Down." Buck never fails to get the crowd in the palm of his hand, and that was certainly the case in his last appearance .
Congratulations to all the winners.
