A very happy Gramily… sorry, I had to. This evening, the 68th Annual Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with Trevor Noah once again returning to host the show. Some very deserving country nominees, as well as performers, that will be taking the stage throughout the evening, though there is one legendary musical family in particular of note, and that would be the Nelson’s, as both Willie Nelson and his son Lukas Nelson are nominated in the brand country category called Best Traditional Country Album. The previously titled Best Country Album category has been changed to Best Contemporary Country Album, so there will be two opportunities for some of your favorite country artists to win one of music’s most prestigious awards. Of course, as you might imagine, the Best Traditional Country Album category is stacked. We have Charley Crockett’s Dollar A Day, Margo Price’s Hard Headed Woman, Zach Top’s Ain’t In It For My Health, Luka’s American Romance and Willie’s, Oh What A Beautiful World all up for the award. Yes, the category is 40% Nelson, and it’s only the second time in history that’s happened at the Grammys, in terms of a father and son both being nominated in the same category for different albums. It’s the first time for a country father/son duo. The only other time it happened in another genre was in 1998, when Julio Iglesias and his son Enrique Iglesias were both nominated for Best Latin Pop Album, though neither one of them won it, as the award went to Luis Miguel. Funny enough, Julio and Willie have worked together in the past, on their hit song “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before.” And while it’s the most competitive category for the country genre this year in my humble opinion, Lukas says he doesn’t view it that way. In interview with the Los Angeles Times, he says he views it as being nominated “alongside” his dad, rather than being up “against” him: “‘Against’ is a strong word. Alongside’ is better. I mean, the Nelsons have a 40% chance of winning, which is pretty good.” Considering they’re both incredible albums, I think that’s a great way of looking at it, and the odds are certainly in their favor when it comes to one for the Nelsons winning this category for the first time. It has to be an incredibly special and full-circle moment for the entire family, as it also includes Willie’s youngest son Micah, who is nominated with his dad as the producer on Willie’s Last Leaf on the Tree record, which is up for Best Americana Album. And it looks like they had some very special cowboy hats made to celebrate the occasion, as Lukas shared a photo of himself, Willie and Micah all wearing tan cowboy hats with the Grammy logo branded on it, as they should considering they’re a very proud Texas family. It’s incredibly cool to see them all nominated for awards in the same year, and Lukas shared the photo along with the caption: “Grammy Family.” What a flex, honestly… But I think I’m partial to the way Ernest described it in the caption: “Gramily.” They sure make country music look good, and as you can probably tell, I’m definitely hoping one of their albums wins in the Best Traditional Country Album category in its inaugural year not only because it would just make sense for a Nelson to do so, but because they’re truly two of the best albums from this past year in country: View this post on Instagram It’s hard to imagine one of them won’t walk away with it honestly, but you never know what could happen. Like I said, that category is stacked, and no mater who wins, it will go to a great artist and fantastic album.
