Robert and Alison came away with five Grammy nominations this year, all well deserved. While Robert hasn’t historically paid that much attention to awards and kudos like this, I’m glad to see the project actually getting the recognition it deserves from the Grammy organization. And keep in mind they’ve already won a grammy for Gone Gone Gone, which made the cut in time to be nominated last year.

While the pundits say wins are assured for Robert and Alison because of their status as legend and Grammy favorite respectively, I think the wins would be well deserved on the basis of the records alone. Even if Grammy voters like to “play it safe”, this time they have a fantastic record to cling to.

May the best man win (and of course, the best man is Robert).
