Bob Dylan, whose latest chart-topping release failed to secure a Grammy
nomination for the coveted album of the year, picked up two consolation
prizes at the awards ceremony on Sunday.
The rock icon's "Modern Times" was named best contemporary folk/Americana
album.
His composition "Someday Baby," used for an iPod television commercial last
year, also won for solo rock vocal performance. But the tune lost the rock
song race to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California."
Dylan was not present at the ceremony to receive the statuette.
His career haul stands at 10. He previously won the contemporary folk Grammy
in 1998 for "Time Out of Mind," which was named album of year, and in 2002
for "Love and Theft," which was nominated for the top album prize.
He won the rock vocal Grammy in 1980 for his gospel tune "Gotta Serve
Somebody."
"Modern Times," his first album since "Love and Theft," debuted at No. 1 on
the U.S. pop charts last September. At 65, Dylan became the oldest living
person to achieve this feat. |
