As usual, my interest in the Grammys came during the pre-televised portion of the show, where awards were given to the likes of Jason Isbell for Americana Album, Buddy Guy for Blues Album, Mavis Staples for American Roots Performance, the Steeldrivers for Bluegrass Album, and this quartet, whom I first heard on Steve Earle’s “El Corazon,” for Best Roots Gospel Album. Lady Gaga, eat your heart out.
