Congratulations to Bettye LaVette, David Barbe, and the Drive-By Truckers for the grammy nomination of Bettye Lavette's 2007 release Scene of the Crime. (DBT was the backing band.) This is a nomination in the category of "Best Contemporary Blues" albums. I didn't have a chance to see the whole list so please mention if there are any other nominated Athens-related folks in the comments. You can preview the Truckers' next album, Brighter than Creations Dark, here. The album is due out in January.
