Grammy Awards 2013: Rich pickings among 81 awards It wouldn't be the Grammys without the most decorated female artist of all time - Alison Krauss - and the country singer is included in the 'Best Country Duo/Group Performance' for a collaboration with Don Williams called I Just Come Here For The Music. In the jazz sections, Chick Corea has five nominations and there is a strong field for 'Best Jazz Vocal Album', including Denise Donatelli, Kurt Ellin, Al Jarreau, Luciana Souza and Esperanza Spalding. Musically, it's a diverse church at the Grammy's and as well as rock and pop, the selections take in rap, hip-hop, R&B, gospel, classical, christian, soundtrack, comedy, children's, world music, reggae, folk and Latin. Some of the golden greats of music make it into the 2013 list. Dr John is there for 'Best Blues Album' (with Locked Down); Bonnie Raitt gets a well-deserved nod with Slipstream for the 'Best Americana Album' section and the great Jimmy Cliff is up for 'Best Reggae Album' (Rebirth). Ry Cooder's spiky Election Special is in the running for 'Best Folk Album' along with one of my favourites of the year, This One's For Him: A Tribute To Guy Clark. Noam Pikelny's Beat The Devil And Carry A Rail would be a worthy winner of 'Best Bluegrass Album'. Good luck also to Janis Ian, who is a contender in the 'Spoken Word Field' for her autobiography Society's Child. But she's in a tough group with Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton. There are Brits sprinkled throughout. Mumford & Sons are the star turns but old boys The Who will receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February, while Paul McCartney's Kisses on the Bottom has been nominated for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album', and the deluxe re-issue of his 1971 album Ram is up for both 'Best Historical Album' and 'Best Box Set or Limited Edition Package'.
