James McMurtry Dominates Americana Honors & Awards Nominations was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) In tonight's announcement of nominees for the 2008 Americana Honors & Awards, James McMurtry was nominated in three categories: "Best Artist," "Best Album" and "Best Song." The album is his current CD, Just Us Kids on Lightning Rod Records, and the song is the controversial "Cheney's Toy." McMurtry was tied with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for most nominations.
Since the April 15 release of Just Us Kids, great things have happened for McMurtry, making this his breakthrough recording in many ways. The album spent six straight weeks at #1 on Radio & Records' Americana Airplay chart, and has held steady at #2 for several weeks since then. In its first week, the album debuted on no fewer than four Billboard sales charts (Hot 200 albums, Heatseekers, New Artist and Indie), outpacing his last release, Childish Things, in sales. - more on this story
