 Grammy '99 Preview by Seth Rogovoy
The mediocrity of the vast majority of this year's Grammy Award nominees is simply a reflection of what is widely acknowledged to have been a mediocre year for commercial pop music.
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.

 1997 Grammy Award Preview by Seth Rogovoy
BEST FEMALE POP VOCAL: Shawn Colvin is the deserving dark horse for her insinuating, sneering, "Get Out of This House," but she's not even in the running against such pop powerhouses as Toni Braxton, Gloria Estefan, and Celine Dion, who will win.
BEST FEMALE ROCK VOCAL: Bonnie Raitt is the sentimental favorite, but no one did back-flips over her version of the Talking Heads' "Burnin' Down the House." The contest here is between Tracy Chapman and Sheryl Crow, a previous Grammy winner, this time nominated for the catchy complaint, "If It Makes You Happy." They're both deserving.
BEST RAP ALBUM: The Grammys like Coolio because he samples Stevie Wonder, but this is the year for the Fugees to clean up in every rap and R&B category in which they're nominated.

 The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & Highways (Album Review)
Considering she scored 27 Top 10 singles, her popularity certainly has warranted the issuance of a pair of greatest hits packages (Profile and Profile II), and four years ago, Rhino assembled the two-disc, 44-track Anthology: The Warner/Reprise Years, which successfully summarized her recordings for the label.
Her most recent compilation is The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches and Highways, and in essence, it bridges the gaps between all three of these outings, while adding a handful of selections from her recent artistic re-emergence.
In sequencing them in loosely-knit chronological order, she allows the tunes not only to inform one another, but also to chart a clear path that connects past to present in such a manner as to highlight the focused clarity of her artistic vision.
