I've just been looking at the full listing:
"Restless" is up against: Comin' To Your City, by Big & Rich Play Something Country, by Brooks & Dunn I Hope, by the Dixie Chicks Bless The Broken Road, by Rascal Flatts
"Unionhouse Branch", and Jerry's number "Who's Your Uncle?" are competing in the same category, together with: I'll Fly Away, by Charlie Daniels Scotch & Chocolate, by Nickel Creek Time Warp, by Brad Paisley
In the album category, "Lonely Runs Both Ways" faces: Fireflies, by Faith Hill Time Well Wasted, by Brad Paisley All Jacked Up, by Gretchen Wilson Jasper County, by Trisha Yearwood

Thanks alot Bingo. Unionhouse Branch should take it, or I'd be satisfied with "who's Your Uncle. If the Grammys are like the CMAs', I don't see the rest winning. Of course they should , but they may not want to give Alison another. Who Knows???

Well, they're up against a lot of very commercial artists so I'm not hopeful that they'd win. I, of course, think they deserve to win, but I don't really think the judges of these things vote on anything more than popularity because they don't want to have a bunch of people up there making acceptance speeches if not many people are familiar with their music, know what I mean? It's a crime, really. Gretchen Wilson is okay, but come on.....a Grammy??

I think one reason they have such great success at the Grammies is that artists pick the winners. Maybe that will give them a better shot than at the CMAs.

Ok...displaying what a moron I am...I didn't know that artists picked the winners at the Grammies lol. I reckon I figured a panel of judges just looked for the most recognizable name and awarded that person. lol That's the way it seems to unfold sometimes, anyway.
