Nominations for the 2008 Golden Guitars have been announced and there are some usual suspects - not that they don't deserve the nominations, but personally I was hoping for more than one nod for Karl Broadie. Never mind ... a few different nominations for Beccy Cole kept me happy, and it's always good to see Troy Cassar-Daley's name amongst the finalists (and winners). My new favourites, The McClymonts, only had one nomination but I'm hoping that's because Chaos and Bright Lights wasn't out in time to make the Album of the Year category. And I'll say more about them soon ...
All in all, though, the list of finalists is a testament to the strength of the industry - it was a year for albums from most of the 'biggies' and that's a lot of competition for some of the younger performers, so hats off to Kirsty Lee Akers, Amber Lawrence, Travis Collins and Dianna Corcoran.
