Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, the Zac Brown Band, Dierks Bentley and Jamey Johnson earned multiple Grammy nominations on Wednesday night (Dec. 1) following a one-hour concert special on CBS.

Among all country artists, Lady Antebellum led the pack with six Grammy nominations stemming from their album and single, both titled "Need You Now." Their nominations arrived in the all-genre album of the year, record of the year and song of the year categories, as well as country album, country song and country performance by a duo or group.

Joining artists from across the musical spectrum, Lambert performed "Only Prettier" at the concert just as "The House That Built Me" claimed multiple nominations, including the all-genre song of the year. She also heard her name called during the telecast in the country female category for "The House That Built Me." Off-camera, she enjoyed additional nominations for country album (Revolution), country song ("The House That Built Me") and country collaboration with vocals (for joining Dierks Bentley and Jamey Johnson on "Bad Angel").

"I'm so excited to be here representing country music for all my peeps," she told the special's host, LL Cool J, with a giggle.

The Zac Brown Band tallied four nominations -- country song ("Free"), country performance by a duo or group ("Free"), country album (You Get What You Give) and country collaboration ("As She's Walking Away" with Alan Jackson). Along with the recognition for "Bad Angel," Bentley and Johnson received several other nominations. Bentley earned nods for country album (Up on the Ridge) and a second nomination for country collaboration ["Pride (In the Name of Love)" with Del McCoury and the Punch Brothers]. Johnson landed in categories for country album (The Guitar Song) and country song ("Macon").

Across a variety of categories, the Grammy ballot also features music by Trace Adkins, The Band Perry, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rosanne Cash, Diamond Rio, Ty Herndon, Jewel, Toby Keith, Little Big Town, Patty Loveless, David Nail, Willie Nelson, LeAnn Rimes, Blake Shelton, Ricky Skaggs, the SteelDrivers, George Strait, Marty Stuart, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson and Chris Young. Johnny Cash, who died in 2003, also earned a nomination for music video for "Ain't No Grave/The Johnny Cash Project." The music from the film Crazy Heart also earned two nominations.

Notable omissions from this year's list of nominees include Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Sugarland and Taylor Swift.

The 53rd annual Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles on Feb. 13 on CBS.
