Grammy nominations for The Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blige, and Melissa Etheridge

Nominees for the 49th Grammy Awards were announced today, and I’m happy to report that powerhouse Mary J. Blige led the pack with eight nominations, and feminist hell-raisers The Dixie Chicks nabbed three of the big ones (album of the year, record of the year and song of the year). Also, Melissa Etheridge scored a nomination for “I Need To Wake Up,” the song she contributed to the documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and The Duhks (featuring out fiddle player Tania Elizabeth) were nominated for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for “Heaven’s My Home” from their Migrations CD. (Look for an AfterEllen.com. interview with Tania Elizabeth in the coming weeks. )
