    Yeah, the GWE awards a joke. I guess if they just give in and not act like it should be awarded for that years releases or bands who actually did something new, then fine. Randy Rogers Band is great, but they didnt offer anything in 2007 in the way of a new album, same with Stoney. It’s this type of thing that illustrates my point on how “red dirt” is becoming very mainstream and mirroring the top 40 nashville scene. Sunny Sweeney getting that award isnt that great because her album has been out for a couple of years, so the “newcomer award” doesnt suit her really either….When the albums from Bingham, Edmondson and O’Toole are overlooked for albums/artists that are the same old thing is sad and very indicative of where this is all heading…

    Dave – It is pretty exciting, and I like that she’s going to have “Old Five and Dimers” on there.

    Kelly – They’re just begging for The 9513 to start their own awards ;) The thing that made me chuckle the most about the winners was Record of the Year. Kevin Fowler with Bring It On, seriously?

    I’m just glad to hear that Sunny Sweeney is winning any kind of award! I just wish Scott Borchetta would put her out on some kind on national tour (say with Elizabeth Cook and The Wrights)….

    I think the actual term Taylor Swift used to describe her duet with Colbie Caillat was “awesome”..

    I’m becoming more convinced every day that Carrie Underwood is in fact an advanced cybernetic humanoid along the lines of Cameron in the “Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV series on Fox…..

    And lastly, from CMT.com this exciting news blurb!
    “New country artists Lady Antebellum and Ashton Shepherd will take part in the Good Morning America spring concert series on April 21 in New York City.”
    I might actually have to set the DVR for that one…

    Brody, Fowler winning for “Bring it on” is a joke! Beating the albums I mentioned earlier, along with the great discs from Adam Hood and Drew Kennedy and Walt Wilkins shows the narrow scope that is clearly being used. I actually like Kevin Fowler, but this current album is a retread with a bit of polish applied, nothing more.

    The 9513 Awards?

    “And the winner is…. Dale Watson!”

    “Which Award?

    “All of them!”

    Sorry guys, couldn’t resist :)

    Well we’ve already named Dale Watson “Emperor” so anythings possible….

    The GWE awards were fan voted, so it was indeed a popularity contest.

    Taylor Swift is making me nervous.

    @Kelly: What can I say? Some days you just feel like starting a fight — and around here it ain’t that hard to do.

    Rick – I just became your biggest fan, someone besides me that thinks that about Carrie Underwood….

    I can really start a fight —– I dont even know who Dale Watson is — I had to google him….hey I live in Ohio….

    I am also glad to see that someone is giving Miss Sweeney some recognition. Her calendar is unbelievable. Someone must like her even if her label is a little slow to notice. In addition to being very talented, she is just so darn nice!

    Rick, if that is true of Ms. Underwood, where do I place my order? :)
