...without any expectations," says Beldjoudi. "We're just hoping our association with this project will finally change the way people view the city and people of Aulnay." An image boost is a near given if Chicago Blues: A Living History wins its category (the town is up against Elliot Ramblin' Jack, the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, John Hammond and Duke Robillard). But a Grammy probably won't turn the CD into a money-maker - even though it's been nominated for two other American blues awards, and has already won another pair in the U.S. and Europe, sales have...

...Brooks and Kaufman were the art house of post-funny, Martin was the mall. He bounded onstage with enormous energy, madly strumming his banjo ("I'm a-ramblin'!"), working the balloon animals, exhausting the audience into submission.

His 1972 duet with Nelson, "Good-Hearted Woman," was a No. 1 country single and a crossover pop hit, as was his own "Ramblin' Man" in 1974; in 1975, the Country Music Association named him its Male Vocalist of the year. "Wanted: The Outlaws" was the first million-selling album recorded in Nashville, and in 1978 Jennings and Nelson won a Grammy for their duet "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys."

...almost forget what the question was. Ask him about the comparisons his music has drawn to Bob Dylan's, and he replies, "I never really identified with him as a person... His art and music, they're undeniable, but... I'm probably more influenced by Leonard Cohen and Ramblin' Jack Elliott and other folk people than Dylan.
