Fuckin' A! Well done, Jason.

this is like watching one of your kids graduate

I typically pay zero attention to music awards (it's just a little gold paperweight), but I have to admit that a Grammy for one of our boys feels good. Congrats to JI.

[Duke Silver]

Alabama Shakes won a few, too. (album, song, and engineering or something)

[Smitty]

Didn't DBT kinda win by proxy for potato hole?

Saw that the album won best alternative, and I Don't Wanna Fight win for rock song. I thought they were a blues band. LOL.

Also Shoals native Gary Nichols for his work with The Steeldrivers. North Alabama did well tonight.

So happy for Jason. He really deserved these two.

24 Frames is the most non-Americana song on the record, and IMO it's good but not one of the best, but glad for him and the Grammy awards rarely make much sense to me anyway.

And bettye lavette too?

Artistic awards are what they are (i.e. not much) and the grammys seem to me to make even less sense than many of the others, but yeah, it still feels good that "one of our own" got the recognition. Given my own feelings about the latest album, I see it more as a "career achievement" thing anyway, but it's all good.

And Southeastern is a considerably better album than SMTF.

Grammy's are always late to the party.

I'm fine with the make up awards. I felt the same way in the early nineties when Bonnie Raitt started raking in the honors despite here best work being in the seventies and eighties. Regardless of circumstance it is good when the good guys win.

The Grammys oversight of Southeastern is just another in a long line of signs of how out of touch they are and have always been. I'm glad for Jason but agree that Southeastern is the more significant work.

Agreed, though SMTF has grown on me more than I thought it would the first time I heard it and was very confused.

Southeastern is compelling because of the redemption narrative, but thank god he changed gears as those kinds of songs become inauthentic and grating as soon as it becomes a formula. i think his refocusing into character based storytelling is more promising for the long run. Speaking of long run, he hopefully changes up the instrumentation and flat production next time, or it'll be like The Long Run where that band completely ran out of steam.

Jason has more Grammys than Pink Floyd

I haven't listened to it in a while but I enjoyed those initial spins way more than I was expecting to, especially given the response most had to it here when it was first released. Jason's always had a more polished sound, which was evident early on with DBT. To my ears, Something More Than Free is the sound of Jason coming into his own. I'll have to give it another spin soon.
