Country Grammy Winners
The Grammys salute the trio radio has turned its back on.
The country music winners of the 49th annual Grammy Awards held on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
The Grammy Award committee made a strong statement about the love in the music industry for a rebellious attitude. The Dixie Chicks, (the trio without a genre ever since Nashville turned its back on their outspoken viewpoints), earned the most prestigious awards in the country and pop music categories.
