Weird Al Wins 2019 Grammy Award - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
 Accordionist and parody writer Weird Al won a 2019 Grammy on February 10, 2019 for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. He beat nominees Guns N' Roses and the Grateful Dead. “Weird Al” Yankovic now has the distinction of being the first recording artist with a Grammy Award for an album packaged inside an accordion! His career retrospective box set is called “Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic”. The collection packed all 14 of his studio albums, plus a 15th disc of rarities, into a container replicating the shape of one of his favorite accordions, each disc afforded its own slot within the expandable bellows. Two editions were created: one containing CDs, the other for 12-inch vinyl LPs. Yankovic shared the award for Squeeze Box: The Complete Works Of "Weird Al" Yankovic with Meghan Foley and Annie Stoll, who joined him on the project as art directors--and backstage at the Grammys during the pre-telecast portion of the ceremony.
