NO GRAMMY LOVE FOR THE MICK FLEETWOOD BLUES BAND

The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band featuring Rick Vito goes home empty handed during the Pre-Telecast Grammy show.

Nominated in the category of “Best Traditional Blues Album.” “BLUE AGAIN,” is released on the Savoy label Group’s 429 Records label, is a project showcasing iconic rock drummer and Fleetwood Mac co-founder Mick Fleetwood and his Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, a top notch quartet of musicians featuring Rick Vito. Produced by Mick Fleetwood and Rick Vito, the recording is equal parts blues rave-up and loving homage to the early incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, revisiting the blues-based classic songs of early Fleetwood Mac along with several new compositions in riveting live performance. Released on March 17 on 429 Records (home of last year’s “Best Contemporary Blues Album” Grammy winner Dr. John), “BLUE AGAIN” was an instant commercial and critical success which debuted in the top 20 on the iTunes Overall Chart and both the Billboard and iTunes Blues charts.

GRAMMY REHEARSALS DAY 1 (TAYLOR SWIFT AND STEVIE NICKS)

SWIFTWOOD MAC IN ACTION
Entertainment Weekly

Friday brought the chance to see Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks collaborate in one of those moments the Grammys are known for. Swift — who has a very good shot at sweeping this year’s major categories, in my opinion — doesn’t wear her Fleetwood Mac fandom on her sleeve as a songwriter, but it is apparently there, for after running through her current single, “Today Was a Fairytale,” she used her very most dramatic voice to introduce her duet partner: “And now, my fairytale dream comes true: I get to share a stage with Stevie Nicks.” The two women’s voices complimented each other nicely on the harmonies of “Rhiannon,” before moving into a more awkward mandolin-fueled hoedown version of “You Belong With Me.” Never thought I’d see Stevie Nicks playing tambourine behind Taylor Swift, but that’s the magic of Music’s Biggest Night.

For Swiftwood Mac and all the rest of the action, tune in to the 52nd annual Grammy Awards, live on CBS, Sunday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. ET/PT

STEVIE NICKS AND TAYLOR SWIFT SINGING AT GRAMMY REHEARSALS

According to a twitter posting, Stevie is apparently singing with Taylor Swift at the Grammy rehearsals taking place in LA right about now... The suspense is over... I think. But what are they singing?!... One of Taylor's songs, or one of Stevies? Hmmmmmm

[edit]  Turns out they are rehearsing RHIANNON!

This is actually pretty awesome, but I have so many questions.  How do you duet on Rhiannon?  Are they trading lines?  Is Stevie up front, Taylor during the chorus?, or vise versa?

In any case, this is really great, looking forward to Sunday!
