This happens every year. The Grammy Awards are so out of touch with reality.

Let me add that I mean absolutely no disrespect to the Blackwood family at
all in my questions. I just don't understand what process allows a little
known (in the grand scheme of things) record label like Greenhaw to land a Grammy nomination in the same category year after year. Is the Grammy voting process impartial? It doesn't seem so when critically acclaimed artists are passed over in this category year after year. I'm sure it's a decent
recording if the Blackwoods are involved, but I frankly don't see how the current careers of any of the artists involved on this and previous Greenhaw
recordings would be rated alongside currently recognized artists like the
Gaither Vocal Band, Randy Travis, the Crabb Family, or Blue Highway. Again,
I said the current careers. There's no denying that James Blackwood and others have been at the very peak of the music world in years past.

So before anyone misunderstands, I'm certainly not putting down any of the groups involved in this project.

I'm questioning what process gets Greenhaw label recordings perrenially nominated for Grammys.
