To subscribe visit www.countryaircheck.com Underwood Takes Two At Disconnected Grammys Arista’s Carrie Underwood was a big winner at last night’s 49th Annual Grammy Awards, taking the all-genre New Artist honor as well as Female Country Vocal Performance for “Jesus, Take The Wheel.” Vince Gill’s “The Reason Why” landed the Male Country Vocal Performance award, and Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles took Country Collaboration for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” Other Nashville-related winners include Country Song “Jesus, Take The Wheel” by Brett James, Hillary Lindsey and Gordie Sampson; and Randy TravisGlory Train for Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album. The Dixie Chicks won in the Country Album and Country Duo or Group categories. Once again, however, the Recording Academy displayed a total disconnect between its awards and performances and the Country radio listener and country record buyer. While Underwood and Rascal Flatts did a fabulous job on their tributes to Bob Wills and the Eagles, it’s a travesty that two of our brightest stars couldn’t sing one of their own songs. I doubt reprising an old Eagles tune helped either of their record sales. As for the Chicks, some have wondered whether their five wins would mean more Country airplay. But it’s hard to imagine the airplay volume changing when the vast majority of PDs interviewed by Country Aircheck said talk of the Chicks was slim or non-existent in the wake of the Grammys. “The morning show did introduce the subject,” says WXBQ/Johnson City-Bristol, TN-VA PD Bill Hagy. “But listeners were mostly not interested.” In Boston, WKLB PD Mike Brophey says his morning team opted not to discuss the Chicks. “The Grammy’s aren’t a huge rallying point for us,” he says. “But we did talk about Carrie Underwood quite a bit.” (continued on page 5) Dee Back At The Beach Cumulus WYAK/Myrtle Beach has hired Country radio vet Joey Dee as PD/afternoon host, effective today.
