Last night at the first ever UK Americana awards ceremony in London, Blackbirds took home two awards: Best International Song and Best International Album. I’m thrilled to share the Best Song award with my cowriter, the wonderful Ben Glover; and the Best Album award with coproducers Doug Lancio and Barry Walsh. Barry and I also performed “Blackbirds” on the show with musical director Ethan Johns. My thanks to the Americana UK Association, to Bob Harris for hosting, and to two women I adore – Elizabeth McGovern and Bonnie Raitt – for presenting me with these awards.
