I have the Krauss/Plant disc and IMHO it blows. I was excited about the prospects of the two singers and the producer working together, but it got nowhere near my expectations. 'Nuff said there....
I also have the Skaggs disc and like it. When you pick something like a tribute to Mr. Monroe and win an award, I think part of the approval can be seen as being for the subject. It's kinda like only serious films winning Oscars.... I think the tribute album is Skaggs doing what he does best - fronting a right good bluegrass band playing Bill's music. I have never paid attention to the Grammy's because I have pretty much listened to music out of the mainstream. I think the last few years have been pretty hard on "the music industry" and awards take on a bit more of a meaning that they used to. Maybe not....
