Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Brandy Clark

The 57th GRAMMY Award nominations have been revealed and it appears the country music community made quite the mark on music this year.

Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert and newcomer Brandy Clark were among those nominated for the prestigious honors.

Clark, who received her first two GRAMMY nominations, said “This is just AMAZING!!!!! I really don’t have the words for it. To see 12 Stories in the middle of all of those great albums and artists is a dream come true.”

The Band Perry received a nomination in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their remake of Glen Campbell’s “Gentle On My Mind.” “We were so excited to hear about our Grammy nomination, but to receive one for a song we feel so passionately about is thrilling beyond words,” the group said. “Glen Campbell is one of our heroes, and we feel so privileged to have been asked to record this iconic song of his and to be a part of this project to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s in his honor.”
