The Grammy Awards are a more than a month away but the nominees have been named and country is again represented very well. Of course aside from the country specific awards there was a well deserved nomination of Lady Antebellum for best new artist’s where they will compete against the favorites in that category, The Jonas Brothers (they’re new?).

One thing about the Grand Ole Opry that many do not realize is that Hank Williams is not a member. By many considered the father of country music, Williams was kicked out of the Opry due to his alcohol abuse. Now a group is calling for Williams to be reinstated into the Opry.
