Jody Stephens Accepts GRAMMY Award for Keep an Eye on the Sky

We’re proud to announce that Keep an Eye on the Sky, the Big Star Box Set, won the GRAMMY this year in the category of Best Album Liner Notes. Robert Gordon, the author of said liner notes, was not in attendance at the GRAMMYs this year. Ardent Studios manager/Big Star drummer/Memphis GRAMMY chapter trustee Jody Stephens stepped up to accept the award in Gordon’s place.
The boxed set, a labor of love for all those involved, was released in late 2009 to great critical and fan response.
A video of Jody’s acceptance speech can be viewed here: http://www.grammy.com/videos/53rd-annual-grammy-awards-pre-telecast-album-note
