Lady A Sweeps Grammys

February 13, 2011/by Sarah Skates


Lady A took home five Grammy Awards last night.


Driven by the wild success of its song “Need You Now,” Lady Antebellum was the top winner at last night’s (2/13) Grammy Awards. The Capitol Nashville trio took home the all-genre trophies for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the format-crossing smash. Lady A was the lead country nominee heading into the show, and walked away with all but one of the awards for which it was nominated. The only category in which the group was shut out was Album of the Year, which went to rock outfit Arcade Fire.
“Need You Now” has racked up over 4 million paid downloads, and its namesake album has sold more than 3 million units. Sharing the Record of the Year honors with bandmates Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood are producer Paul Worley and engineer Clarke Schleicher. The band shares Song of the Year honors with co-writer Josh Kear.
Miranda Lambert performed on the televised show and won the award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Keith Urban took home the male vocal trophy. Best Country Collaboration With Vocals went to Zac Brown Band and Alan Jackson for “As She’s Walking Away.” Marty Stuart scored the award for Best Country Instrumental Performance for “Hummingbyrd.”

Songwriters Allen Shamblin (pictured left) and Tom Douglas won Country Song of the Year for "The House That Built Me." Miranda Lambert won for her performance of that song.


Winners in the Americana categories include Mavis Staples, Patty Loveless, Carolina Chocolate Drops and Ray LaMontagne And The Pariah Dogs.
Gospel Field awards went to two-time winners BeBe & CeCe Winans, as well as Jerry Peters & Kirk Whalum, Lalah Hathaway, Switchfoot, Israel Houghton, Diamond Rio, and Patty Griffin.
The Nashville Symphony also won three awards.
