Grammy nominations came out today, and we were all kinds of excited to see some names we know and love in the prime-time categories. Brandi Carlile is nominated for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year — as well as several awards in the American Roots categories. Kacey Musgraves’ “Golden Hour” is nominated for Album of the Year. And, in a category that will make those of us who have been listening to her for years giggle, Margo Price is nominated for Best New Artist.
