Our two music awards editors -- David Schnelwar and Darrin Dortch -- disagree on the winner of Best Country Album at this Sunday's Grammys.

“Uncaged” - Zac Brown Band
“Hunter Hayes” - Hunter Hayes -- Darrin
“Living For A Song: A Tribute To Hank Cochran” - Jamey Johnson
“Four The Record” - Miranda Lambert -- David
“The Time Jumpers” – The Time Jumpers

David's analysis:
None of this year’s nominees for Best Country Album are nominated for Album of the Year.

Hunter Hayes has three nominations this year including Best New Artist and Best Country Solo Performance.

Zac Brown Band and Jamey Johnson have both been nominated twice before in this category and lost.

Miranda Lambert’s “Revolution” (2010) lost to Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” in this category. With no Album of the Year nominee to compete against, Lambert looks like the winner.

Darrin's analysis:
This race is a complete and utter tossup. No one act was consistently nominated in the country field this year.

Hunter Hayes is up for Best New Artist and Country Solo while The Time Jumpers scored a Country Duo/Group Performance nod. And Miranda Lambert and Zac Brown Band are bigger names who were snubbed everywhere else in the country field.

I’m giving Hayes the slight edge since he scored the most overall nominations.

I think Hunter Hayes has a really good shot at it because he seems to have exploded recently. Personally, I would love to see Miranda Lambert take the prize.

I don't follow country to much but I posted this in case someone does and I'm glad at least one person responded.

I think Hunter will win to give him at least one award.

I mean he is nominated in one of the 'Big Four' categories and while that is nice imo he won't win Best New Artist so this could be his Grammy win instead.

Not a bad prize either considering it is the best award for his genre.
