What a great boost for the MFBB! With the Blue Again DVD due in January and plans for a new MFBB album (as Mick said in an interview recently), 2010 could be a great year for the band.
I see two blues categories (besides R&B): Best Traditional Blues Album, and Best Contemporary Blues Album. I would have more expected Blue Again in the Contemporary category -- but what do I know? 
Best Traditional Blues Album

* A Stranger Here
Ramblin' Jack Elliott

[429 Records]
* Rough & Tough

* Stomp! The Blues Tonight
Duke Robillard
[Stony Plain Records]
* Chicago Blues: A Living History
(Various Artists)
Larry Skoller, producer

********
Best Contemporary Blues Album

The Robert Cray Band

* The Truth According To Ruthie Foster
