Last year's winner, Cast Iron Skillet by Jason Isbell, is a fantastic song.

That's a good one. And Jason is a confirmed MK fan. Still, crazy Mark won just 6 of them, and only 1 (one) for the song he wrote, all the rest are music videos, surround albums and collaboration tracks. I never thought about his music through awards, though. Music is its own reward!

"The Last Beatles Song" is also nominated, unfortunately. I doubt it'll win, though.

The Grammys are a load of crap, it’s voted for by record company insiders.

Doesn’t really mean anything, but can give exposure to smaller artists.

It's great That Mark has been given a nomination for anything in the music industry, however, a nomination for this song? really? it's a very ordinary song by Mark's standards. I'm not sure if any of his other solo era songs have been nominated for a Grammy in the past but, this seems an odd choice, maybe because for the first 4 months of this year Mark was everywhere in the press they though it was his time for another nomination!! It doesn't sound very American roots to me, maybe they didn't bother hearing the whole album.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.
