Product DescriptionSensible Shoes by the British group Led Bib, was announced on the
short-list for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize's 2009 "Album of the
Year" on July 21, 2009.
The prestigious Mercury Prize is of ground-shaking importance within
the UK, and has been called the United Kingdom's "most influential
music award". Unlike the UK's Brit Awards, which concentrate on
more commercially successful acts and is more widely known in the
US, the Mercury Prize is devoted to celebrating quality. It is
given to the CD that a panel of experts feels is the best album of
the year by a UK artist, regardless of musical genre, position on
radio charts, or sales numbers.
The winner of the award will be announced in a ceremony in London on
September 8th, televised nationally on BBC Two.
