The 2008 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album goes to Jim Lauderdale for The Bluegrass Diaries.
Jim introduced his producer, Randy Kohrs, as he was accepting the award, and recognized all the pickers on the album by name. He also referenced each of the other nominees (Seldom Scene, Cherryholmes, JD Crowe & The New South and Tony Trischka), and paid his respects for their contributions.
Congrats, Jim.
