She recorded a full length album but was dropped before it was released to stores. It an still be downloaded on iTunes or other digital music stores. Susan's a lot older than most new artists hitting the streets nowadays (36ish?) so she's probably done.

Their server bounced my email right back to me. Heh, speaking of Sony, I tried emailing them a few weeks back and the address they had listed on their site wasn’t even valid.

I'm not saying that's why they won all the awards, but I think there was some better musical talent in a couple of the categories that they were awarded for. Matt - I think Sony's overall brand has been diminishing for a while now and situations like this will only help speed up its deterioration. I've never heard of Susan Haynes, but I'm a fan of Jamey Johnson and it's a shame that his career isn't progressing more smoothly.

Several promising new artists lost their deals in the botched Sony-BMG merger (Susan Haynes, Jamey Johnson, etc.) and life is not much better for the other young talents that are tied to this incompetent label. For a young artist a deal on one of about a dozen different indy labels has to be preferable to a contract with Sony right now.

And Willie's "The songs of Cindy Walker: You Don't Know Me" should have won for best country album. Come one, one legend singing another legend's tunes. It is such a great album. But here was the best I read in the blogosphere about the DC's wins: CHICKS RULE, NASHVILLE DROOLS: Last night, the Dixie Chicks swept the Grammies, winning the coveted award in every category in which they were nominated. Speaking out against the war and the president as country-music stars proved to be an incredibly tricky move, as country-music stations boycotted the Chicks' music, Nashville all but disowned the trio, and fans throughout the country chucked, spit on, and crushed their Dixie Chicks CDs. But unlike so many pandering celebs, the Chicks didn't go to rehab, equivocate about their meaning, apologize "if they offended anyone," or in any way compromise their integrity. The Chicks stood by their political beliefs in a hostile country-music environment, and even made an album responding to the criticism, which was as bold and brash as true fans always knew the Chicks to be. It's nice to see them getting rewarded now. --Sacha Zimmerman About the Grammys, I agree that they shouldn’t have won all the awards for every category they were nominated for.

Last night, the Dixie Chicks swept the Grammies, winning the coveted award in every category in which they were nominated.
