“I wish I had a trampoline to jump on right now! This is just unbelievable,” says Tucker. “I couldn’t have done this without the fans, Brandi and Shooter, and the whole Tanya Tucker Team. What’s different now more than ever is the fans on social media and streaming made this record an instant success. What just happened, I’d never, ever fathom.”

The four nominations mark a career high for the original country outlaw. Nominated for 10 GRAMMY Awards over her illustrious five-decade career, Tucker landed her first nomination with “Delta Dawn” in 1972 for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female.

The critically acclaimed album, which The New Yorker declares, “captures one of America’s great vocalists at her peak,” and Rolling Stone calls “a stunning exuberant album that ranks among the year’s best,” is produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings and marks Tucker’s first for Fantasy Records and Sawyer & Garner Management. The record is her first Top Ten debut and tenth Top 10 album.

Ashley McBryde’s “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” Earns Two Award Nominations From The Recording Academy

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –CMA’s New Artist of the Year Ashley McBryde earned two coveted GRAMMY nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for her breakout smash, “Girl Goin’ Nowhere,” written by McBryde together with Jeremy Bussey.

“‘Girl Goin’ Nowhere’ is the song that keeps on giving,” McBryde reflected. “I was blown away by our first GRAMMY Nomination for Country Album of the Year last year. And now ‘Girl Goin’ Nowhere’ gets two nominations?! Can’t keep her down. That’s the message Jeremy Bussey and I let off the leash. She’s a fighter. I’m so honored and proud to see this song stay alive.”

“Girl Goin’ Nowhere” recounts the story of an algebra teacher McBryde had in high school who told the Arkansas native that her dream of becoming a songwriter in Nashville was stupid and that she better have a good backup plan. The powerful ballad showcases McBryde’s storytelling abilities, and as NPR noted, “It's a song that can be counted on to hush even the rowdiest club crowd.” Last year, the title track from McBryde’s major label debut album, GIRL GOING NOWHERE, earned a place on The Fader’s Best 100 Songs of 2018 as well as NPR’s Best Songs of 2018.

Praised as “one of the most singular working artists in any genre” by Esquire, Eric Church earns two nominations at the upcoming GRAMMY Awards; Best Country Album for his critically acclaimed project, Desperate Man, and Best Country Song for his recent No. 1 hit, “Some Of It.”

Rolling Stone described the album in their July 2018 cover story as “classic Church: expertly crafted and country-radio-friendly, while also pushing boundaries in a way that sounds natural and unforced” and American Songwriter noted in their September/October 2018 cover story that it “sublimates the pain of a tumultuous year into his most adventuresome album yet.”

The album, Church’s sixth, was celebrated as one of the year’s best by American Songwriter, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, USA Today, Variety and Vulture, among others. This marks his third nomination for Best Country Album, having previously being honored for Chief and The Outsiders.

 “Some Of It,” written by Church together with Clint Daniels, Jeff Hyde and Bobby Pinson, recently topped the charts at Country radio and also marks his third nod in the Best Country Song category, following “Springsteen” and “Give Me Back My Hometown.”
