Is folk music making a comeback?

Bob Dylan and "O Brother Where Art Thou" are two of the top five nominees for album of the year!

Dylan up for 3 Grammies!

The traditional folk catagory: BeauSoleil - Looking Back Tomorrow John Hartford - Hamilton Ironworks Roger McGuinn - Treasures from the Folk Den various artists - Avalon Blues:A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt various artists - Down From the Mountain

Contemporary Folk Bob Dylan - Love and Theft Buddy & Julie Miller - Buddy & Julie Miller various - Poet:A Tribute to Townes Van Zandt Gillian Welch - Time Lucinda Williams - Essence

I'm rooting for O'Brother Where Art Thou for album of the year, Roger McGuinn for best traditional folk, and Poet for best contemporary folk.

Of course I'm not a big believer in these dog and pony shows. Big Business steps in. Still it is fun in a way.
