GRAMMY WATCH – Children’s Album, Spoken Word Album and Comedy Album Categories: My Picks and Predictions

Here are my picks and predictions in these categories for The 58th Annual Grammy Awards.


Best Children's Album
• ¡Come Bien! Eat Right!
      José-Luis Orozco
      [Smithsonian Folkways Recordings]

• Dark Pie Concerns
      Gustafer Yellowgold
      [Apple-Eye Productions]

• Home
      Tim Kubart
      [Tim And The Space Cadets]

• How Great Can This Day Be
      Lori Henriques
      [Human Puppy Records]

• Trees
      Molly Ledford & Billy Kelly

My Pick & Prediction: ¡Come Bien! Eat Right!

Best Spoken Word Album (Includes Poetry, Audio Books & Storytelling)
• Blood On Snow (Jo Nesbø)
      Patti Smith
      [Random House Audio]

• Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, And Assorted Hijinks
      Dick Cavett
      [Macmillan Audio]

• A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety
      Jimmy Carter
      [Simon & Schuster Audio]

• Patience And Sarah (Isabel Miller)
      Janis Ian & Jean Smart
      [Audible Studios]

• Yes Please
      Amy Poehler (& Various Artists)
      [HarperAudio]


While this is always a tough category for me, all who thrive in it better be ready for some stiff competition when President Barack Obama becomes a civilian again and gets back in the running. That being said, for me, the competition here is fierce!


My Pick: A FULL LIFE: REFLECTIONS AT NINETY


My Prediction: PATIENCE AND SARAH
