Dave Matthews Band Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Rock Album

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King has netted Dave Matthews Band Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Rock Album.

The Grammys' other Album of the Year nominees are Beyonce (I Am ... Sasha Fierce), Black Eyed Peas (The E.N.D.), Lady Gaga (The Fame) and Taylor Swift (Fearless). The Album of the Year nomination is the DMB's first in this category.

The second of the two Dave Matthews Band Grammy nominations comes in the Best Rock Album category, where the other nominees are AC/DC (Black Ice), Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood (Live at Madison Square Garden), Green Day (21st Century Breakdown) and U2 (No Line on the Horizon).

These are the 13th and 14th Dave Matthews Band Grammy nominations, but the first since 2003. DMB has won one Grammy, the 1997 Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "So Much To Say." Dave Matthews also won a Grammy for "Gravedigger" in 2004.

The 2010 Grammy winners will be announced Jan. 31.
