Ten Thousand Motels Kim Wilson Leads W.C. Handy Blues Nominations

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - With six nominations, singer and harmonica virtuoso Kim Wilson leads the field for the 2004 W.C. Handy Awards, presented by the Blues Foundation in recognition of the year's best work in the blues field.

Wilson is among the artists up for entertainer of the year, along with Solomon Burke , Shemekia Copeland , B.B. King and Bobby Rush. Anson Funderburgh, Buddy Guy, Bettye Lavette and Otis Taylor each received four nominations.

Nominated as blues album of the year are Funderburgh's "Which Way is Texas?" (Bullseye Blues), Guy's "Blues Singer" (Silvertone), Lavette's "A Woman Like Me" (Blues Express), Taylor's "Truth is Not Fiction" (Telarc), and Wilson's "Looking For Trouble" (MC).

The Handys -- which are selected by an international voting panel of blues fans and blues society members -- will be presented April 29 at the Cook Convention Center in Memphis.

T&A Wilson's cool - but he's not in Buddy Guy's league in the blues field.

Also- I love Solomon Burke, but he's clearly no (strictly speaking) blues performer. Like many, he has elements of the blues in his music, but I certainly wouldn't classify him as blues singer, per se.
