My Morning Jacket nominated for Grammy

My Morning Jacket has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the best alternative music album category for its celebrated new album, "The Waterfall." This is the Louisville band's third Grammy nomination, with the other two coming in the same category in 2009 for "Evil Urges" and 2012 for "Circuital."

The 2016 Grammy Awards will be broadcast Feb. 16 on CBS.

The band just wrapped up a long tour with a sold out four-night stand at New York's Beacon Theatre, where it performed 89 songs without a repeat. Their finale was a cover of the Eagles of Death Metal’s “I Love You All the Time” to raise money for the families of those killed in the Paris attacks.
