The Grammy Song of the Year category honors the unsung heroes of the music business -- the songwriters.
Of the five songs nominated, only two of them were co-written by the artist who sings them -- Eric Church's "Springsteen" and Ronnie Dunn's "Cost of Livin'.'"
Here's a rundown of the Country Song of the Year nominees and the writers up for the award:
- "Blown Away" - Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, songwriters (Carrie Underwood)
- "Cost of Livin'" - Phillip Coleman and Ronnie Dunn, songwriters (Ronnie Dunn)
