BB Caps Grammy Weekend With 3rd Win, Helm Tribute
Zac Brown Band earned their third Grammy win at last night's ceremony, taking home the Best Country Album award for 'Uncaged' (Atlantic/Southern Ground). The win was the highlight of a busy weekend for Brown, who joined Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard, T Bone Burnett and Mavis Staples for the Grammys homage to Levon Helm. He also shared the stage with Staples on Friday at the MusiCares tribute to Bruce Springsteen, where they "had the crowd on their feet" (Tennessean) in a gospel take on "My City in Ruins."
