the dixie chicks managed to get a nomination for a song that was never released as a single..isnt on ANY album....you could download it on itunes, bit it did miserably there...peaked at #67 on the billboard charts... and received little airplay and even less interest from the country community in general. However it will be most likely be on an upcoming album ... some labels pay out big for promotion and Sony has spent more money on paying for nominations and airplay etc etc for the chicks than they have for any other artist in the labels hystory. The grammys are a sham.
The dixie chicks released the song for "charity" and will walk away with more in the grammy gift baskets than any of the victims that they swore the song was to raise money for will EVER recieve. They are opportunistic parastic leaches who will do anything for shameless self promotion including exploiting victims of America worst natural disaster. they are pond scum, and thats being generous...
Just an update - the Chicks were shut out.
Best Country Performance by a Group With Vocal or a Duo:
"Restless" by Alison Krauss and Union Station
Best Country Song:
"Bless the Broken Road" by Rascall Flatts
But get this: Best Female Country Vocal Performance nominees were Faith, Gretchen, Lee Ann Womack, Trisha, and Emmylou Harris. Pick the one you haven't heard on country radio in the past year and you picked the Grammy winner. BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Grammies suck.
