THE BEAT GOES ON

For the 52nd Grammy Awards it was Beyonce's night as she walked away with three awards for Song of the Year: "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On it)," Female Pop Vocal Performance: "Halo," and R&B Song: "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)."

Taylor Swift received her just rewards in winning the beast album of the year award for "Fearless." Credit is due after she previously received abusive comment on a previous MTV Awards show from a ignorant inconsiderate performer who shall remain nameless who was ignorant enough to berate and embarrass her in front of an international television audience. Swift also won the Female Country Vocal Performance award with her song "White Horse,"

The Grammy show has turned into a performance show and has gone away from an awards program. It's not to say there is anything wrong with that but the changes are drastic. Tuxedos are out and casual is in as well as the crude language.

The marriage of old talent singing with the new improved the program. The most outstanding was Leon Russell now 67 years old and in great voice teamed up with the Zac Brown Band who won the best new artist award.

Other notable performances includes Roberta Flack who will be 73 February 10th. She was in great voice while being teamed up with Maxwell. Their vocal blend was magnificent. Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift was a nice mix together of the old and the new which points out that good music is eternal regardless of age.

Though not performing 68 year-old former Beatle Ringo Starr made an appearance as an awards presenter.

Booker T. won a GRAMMY in 1997 for his work with Booker T. & The MGs, taking home honors for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. He was named a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient ten years later, also for his work with the MGs.

But on Sunday night at the 52d Annual GRAMMY Awards, Booker T. scored his first-ever GRAMMY as a solo artist, winning the Best Pop Instrumental Album trophy for his April 2009 release Potato Hole (Epitaph/ANTI-). Potato Hole, on which Booker is backed by the blistering Drive-By Truckers, was Booker T.'s first new album in nearly two decades, and the lead single "Warped Sister" had been nominated for Best Rock Instrumental (the legendary Jeff Beck took home that award.)

On the Friday night before the GRAMMY ceremony, Booker T. appeared at the MusicCares benefit event honoring his old friend Neil Young--who contributed guitar work to Potato Hole . As part of what Rolling Stone called "a true power trio" (along with Keith Urban and John Fogerty) Booker T. played keys on a rousing rendition of “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Potato Hole and two tracks from the album, "Hey Ya" and "Space City," were all included in The Village Voice's annual Pazz and Jop poll, which tablulates the votes of over 697 music critics' in an attempt to distill the most important music of the prior year. Potato Hole was also recognized by No Depression in its Top Albums of 2009. Finally, yet another Potato Hole track, "Pound It Out," will be prominently featured in Ken Burn's forthcoming "Tenth Inning," an epilogue to the filmmaker's acclaimed nine-part "Baseball" documentary series.

Following the GRAMMY's, Booker T. left California for the Pacific Rim, where he has a whirlwind tour of Japan slated, prior to returning to the States to work on his as-yet-untitled follow-up to Potato Hole.
