just b/c someone works really hard doesn't necessarily mean they deserve it....you can work really hard and still come up short. just an observation....

i was a big kenny fan back in the day, but his material has def stalled out a bit in the last 5 years or so. i too wonder why pickler seems to get snubbed a bit at these things. i thought her debut album was great - and so her! i've not heard her complete sophomore effort yet, but the bits i have listened to sound like she's stayed pretty close to the beaten path.
