Grammy's: The Show Must Go On

Sunday night my favorite award show will be on CBS at 8 PM. The 2020 Grammy Awards will be full of surprises. The fact that you can't turn on the news in the last 24 hours and not hear all the accusations flying around is adding to the suspense. I have to say I hope all of this talk about artists being over looked is not accurate but in the meantime I want to cast my votes for my favorites in the country categories.

Best Country Solo Performance
For new vocal or instrumental solo country recordings - I am tossed up between Ashley McBride and Willie Nelson

ALL YOUR’N

Ashley McBryde
RIDE ME BACK HOME
Willie Nelson
GOD'S COUNTRY
Blake Shelton
BRING MY FLOWERS NOW

Best Country Duo/Group Performance
For new vocal or instrumental duo/group or collaborative country recordings - This award should be all Little Big Town but I would be okay with the Brooks and Dunn Luke Combs combo walking away with the trophy.
