  • El premi Grammy al millor àlbum d'americana (Grammy Award for Best Americana Album) és entregat per The Recording Academy (oficialment, National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) dels Estats Units des de 2010 a artistes de gravacions per àlbums de qualitat en el gènere americana, per a "honorar la consecució artística, competència tècnica i excel·lència general en la indústria discogràfica, sense tenir en consideració les vendes d'àlbums o posició a les llistes". L'any 2009 l'Acadèmia va anunciar que el premi per a Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album es repartiria en dues categories diferents: Best Contemporary Folk Album i Best Americana Album. La diferenciació entre totes dues categories es basa en l'ús d'instruments acústics en contraposició als elèctrics; els acústics predominen en el "folk contemporani", mentre que els elèctrics són característics de l'americana. Jed Hilly, director executiu de l', va dir que la inclusió de la categoria suposava "un gran reconeixement" del gènere musical. Hilly va admetre haver treballat dur per tal de convèncer l'Acadèmia que inclogués l'americana com a categoria pròpia. La indústria musical havia estat utilitzant el terme "Americana music" durant uns 15 anys abans que el nou premi es creés. Segons la guia de descripció de la categoria dels Grammy de 2018, "l'americana és música contemporània que ha incorporat elements de diverses músiques i estils vocals tradicionals estatunidencs, com country, , folk, bluegrass, R&B i blues, donant lloc a un so distintiu d'arrel tradicional que viu en un món a part de les formes pures dels gèneres als quals pot recórrer. Mentre que els instruments acústics són sovint presents i vitals, l'americana també utilitza sovint una banda elèctrica completa. (ca)

  • The Grammy Award for Best Americana Album is an honor presented to recording artists for quality albums in the Americana music genre at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position". In 2009, the Academy announced that the award for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album would be split into two separate categories: Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Americana Album. The distinction between the two award categories is based on the use of acoustic versus electric instruments; acoustic instruments predominate in "contemporary folk" and electric instruments are characteristic of Americana. Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association, called the new category's inclusion "a huge acknowledgment" of the music genre. Hilly admitted to working hard at convincing the Academy to include Americana as its own category. The music industry had been using the term "Americana music" for about 15 years before the new award was created. Following is the award's purpose, according to the category description guide from the 2018 Grammy Awards: Americana is contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music and vocal styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band. The award was first presented in 2010 to Levon Helm at the 52nd Grammy Awards for the album Electric Dirt. Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Brandi Carlile and Keb' Mo' have been nominated the most times (three). (en)
