Buddy Guy Takes Home GRAMMY Award For Best Traditional Blues Album

Some of the best GRAMMY categories are the ones that never make it to TV. Such was the case for the Best Traditional Blues Album award as Buddy Guy was named the winner for his album The Blues Is Alive And Well.

“Every time I accept an award like this, I do it for my friends who maybe didn't get em years ago, especially black people - the late Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, etc- they're still in my heart, & every time I look up, it's like they're looking down on me."- BG #BlackHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/eUH8R0O5u4
