| The nominees have just been announced for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. The ‘Best Polka Album’ award has been dropped, but there are still plenty of accordions among the ‘Best Cajun/Zydeco Album’ category is full of them: ‘Alligator Purse’, by Beausoleil Avec Michael Doucet ‘Lay Your Burden Down’, by Buckwheat Zydeco ‘Stripped Down’, by The Magnolia Sisters ‘Live At 2009 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’, by the Pine Leaf Boys ‘L’Ésprit Créole’, by Cedric Watson et Bijou Créole The accordion is also well represented in the ‘Best Norteño Album’ category: ‘Dejame Soñar’, by Cumbre Norteña ‘El Niño De Oro’, by El Compa Chuy ‘Pese A Quien Le Pese’, by Los Rieleros Del Norte ‘Tu Noche Con…Los Tigres Del Norte’, by Los Tigres Del Norte ‘Soy Todo Tuyo’, by Los Tucanes De Tijuana There are also a handful of accordionists scattered through other categories. ‘Los Texmaniacs’ and ‘Sunny Sauceda’ are both vying for ‘Best Tejano Album’, Weird Al Yankovic is up for ‘Best Comedy Album’, and David Hidalgo’s accordion was a key ingredient in Bob Dylan’s ‘Together Through Life’, nominated for ‘Best Americana Album’. And finally, many thought that the demise of the polka award would spell the end of 18-time winner Jimmy Sturr’s Grammy run. However, Jimmy and his orchestra garnered yet another Grammy nomination; this time, for ‘Best Traditional Folk Album’. |
