	Grammy '99 Preview by Seth Rogovoy
		The highly-touted Lauryn Hill, a member of the hit group the Fugees, deserves every nomination she received for her solo debut, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," a marvelous throwback to classic-era Stevie Wonder that was nominated for best album and best female pop vocal performance, among others.
		The nominees in the best female rock vocal category might stir some backroom handicapping, with Crow vying for the award against a hefty field of female powerhouses including Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Ani DiFranco and Lucinda Williams.
		As for Williams, she is indeed the best female rock singer in the business, but then why was her critically-acclaimed album, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," nominated in the best contemporary folk album category?

	Lisa Bigwood, Awards Presented By New Pants Publishing
		Lisa Bigwood was impressive in the New Folk contest in Kerrville in May 1995, the same year she showcased at Telluride.
		Her first album, Like No One Else, is a beautifully recorded, understated folk album featuring Lisa’s soft, low voice atop guitars, flute, fiddle and banjo in measured amounts.
		Unfortunately, there are no lyrics accompanying this album (a disturbing trend that short-changes both the artist and the public).
