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?
