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?
