One of Keith Richards' projects is up for a Grammy this Sunday in Los Angeles. The deluxe edition of Wingless Angels, his side project of Rastafarian spirituals recorded in Jamaica, is up for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. Richards says playing with his group of Jamaican musicians is "a riot" and "always a party... I count myself lucky to be part of it." The package is up against releases by Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Radiohead.
Richards has won two Grammys, both in 1994 -- Best Rock Album for The Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge and Best Music Video, Short Form for "Love Is Strong" off Voodoo Lounge.
This year's other classic rock nominees include Jeff Beck, Levon Helm, Gregg Allman and Paul McCartney. The Grammys air live from L.A. on Sunday night at 8 ET/PT on CBS. --Sal Cirrincione
