I did not watch the Grammy Awards television show, but I did go online to Grammy.com to see who actually won the in the blues catagory. I'm presenting the various albums and the two winners. I thought it would be good to see who was nominated also.
I'm glad that I pretty much covered all these albums, so you can click on the artist labels below to see my original write ups. And if you would like to listen to mp3 samples of each album you can click on the image of each album.

I thought Pinetop should have got it, but B.B. is always good.
Hey I've got my own blog www.bluesforlife.com and I wonder if you would be interested in a link exchange.
