I checked the 2001 (late 2000) and 2000 (late 1999) editions, and they did not have "America's Best." So, Lucinda did "get this" last year, for the almanac that is curent for most of this year, and it remains to be seen who will get it sometime this year for next year's almanac, if they have "America's Best" again. And if Emmylou Harris actually made the selection, as opposed to only drafting the writeup, then, I am not surprised that Emmylou, herself a singer, songwriter and woman "d'une certaine age" was not swayed by extraneous considerations."
