At the age of 12, Hope
Valley's Billy Gilman is making news with two nominations based on his debut
album One Voice: Best Country Song (penned by Don Cook and Dave Malloy)
and Best Male Country Vocal Performance, where he challenged veterans Johnny
Cash, Vince Gill, Tim McGraw and Dwight Yoakam. Gilman
lost the Best Male Country Vocal Performance to Johnny Cash, who won for his
cover of Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man." Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sellers won
Best Country Song, performed by Lee Ann Womack.

Sugar
Ray Norcia
Exeter's Sugar Ray Norcia
was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Traditional Blues Album category. His
disc Superharps (Telarc Blues) includes three Sugar Ray originals and
features bluesmasters James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite and Billy Branch.
Like Gilman, Sugar Ray faced stiff competition from big names — including
Willie Nelson, B.B. King, and a B.B King-Eric Clapton collaboration. Clapton
and King's Riding With The King won out.
