Very humored to see Ricky Skaggs up for Pop/Contempoary Christian Album instead of Country Christian. Also shocked to see Ty Herndon and Diamond Rio both in Country Christian Album. And mad I didn't know Patty Loveless had released a new bluegrass album. And the Americana Album list is funny, cuz I dunno if I could clump Robert Plant, Mavis Staple and Willie Nelson all as Americana-artists.
