i haven't watched or given a flying leap about the grammies in yrs.

that said...it good to see Sco and Chris Stapleton getting some acknowledgement that will perhaps introduce them to a wider audience.

i dig stapleton though i much prefer his less commercial work from when he was with The Steeldrivers.

Bob Ludwig is still working?? He did the Zep mastering 45+ years ago!

I'd guess he knows his craft well. He has mastered nearly everyone over the last 50 years it seems:

I've never paid attention to the Grammys.

Isbell's "24 Frames" is 'Roots' genre? I wasn't sure where to lump it, I do a solo version.

I listened to the Alabama Shakes album one time. Recorded, mixed and produced very well, but I found the songwriting to be mediocre.

Kendrick should have won...
