много есть интересных небанальных блюзменов ... к счастью.
но, к сожалению, премий на всех не хватает...
однако премий все же не так и мало... вот в прошлом награждении Blues Music Award Эрик Бибб как раз стал обладателем приза за лучший акустический альбом...
да посмотрите уж весь список прошлогодних победителей, что ли!
![Biggrin Biggrin](/images/Smileys/biggrin.gif)
в теперешней премии как правило, "раздают всем сестрам по серьгам"... и Эрик Бибб заслужил, и Джо Бонамасса тоже! такова политика нынешнего комитета, который сменил в свое время комитет прошлой премии, которая называлась W.Handy Award.
новый комитет все же больше смотрит на текущую популярность артиста...
