One of Johnny Winter’s final wishes may be granted, His “Step Back” Album has been Nominated for a Grammy
Johnny Winter had 2 final wishes that he wanted achieve , to be inducted in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and to win a Grammy Award, Well he may just have one of those wishes granted
Grammy season has officially begun and Paul Nelson has been listed for consideration to be among the 57th Annual Grammy Award Nominees for best Producer for his work on Johnny Winter’s “Step Back” Album. As well as the Album itself.
So, what does it actually mean to be on the “first-round ballot?”
Essentially, it means that you’ve passed the basic entrance exam of submitting an album in accordance with the Academy’s fairly rigid guidelines. It means that you are “on the list” — your album is officially entered on the ballot that was sent on Oct. 16 to 12,000 or so members of NARAS. Considering there were at least 300 submissions that didn’t make that cut, we’d say Congratulations to anyone who made it that far.
What’s next? The nominations voting is the next step in the Grammys process. NARAS members have until Nov. 5 to vote for their favorite artists/albums/tracks.
The top four or five will get the coveted Grammy Nomination
