If you’ve been following the Grammys for the past few years, you may have noticed the prevalence of an often overlooked genre in some marquee categories: Americana has had a big resurgence, and the Grammys have been one of the places where this ever-evolving genre has shined through. Thus, the Americana Music Honors and Awards — which will be presented on September 22 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee — have become a good place for Grammy watchers to look if they want to get ahead of the curve and predict those dark horse artists. Let’s take a look at the nominees, the possible winners, and why these matter much more than you might think.

David Crosby has served as Rolling Stone‘s official advice columnist for the past two years, and he’s never once flinched at any question we’ve thrown at him. That’s because there’s almost nothing he hasn’t experienced throughout his 80 years on Earth, and he’s more than happy to share his hard-earned wisdom with others.
“Once again, I forge out into the wilderness of questions,” he says in this newest Ask Croz video, “and try to come up with some kind of answer. It’s difficult.

The past couple of years have not been easy on David Crosby. After the pandemic made it impossible for him to tour, his financial situation grew so dreary that he feared the bank would take away his house. The tendonitis that’s been plaguing his hands has advanced to the point where it’s difficult for him to play guitar. He’s also had to watch his beloved country get ripped in half by a president who refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power, and endure the loss of his biological son,...

On Tuesday, David Crosby declared to Howard Stern’s listeners that filmmaker Robert Zemeckis would be directing a documentary on Crosby, Stills & Nash, making possible use of “10,000 hours” of existing footage as well as fresh interviews. On Wednesday, that announcement got walked back a bit, with word that the tantalizing prospect of a full-on Csn doc is still only under discussion.
“They’re gonna do a huge documentary on Csn. You know about that, right?” Crosby asked Stern during their extensive SiriusXM interview, after the host had asked a number of questions about strained relations in the currently off-again supergroup. Crosby elaborated that the doc would be directed by Zemeckis and produced by Nigel Sinclair and Tim Sexton.
Asked Stern, “David, how can they do that without the three of you guys getting in the same room together?” — the near-impossibility of that having been just established.

David Crosby has paired his new single “River Rise” with a video featuring the song’s lyrics, co-written by Michael McDonald and Crosby’s son James Raymond.
“‘River Rise’ came from wanting to write something very evocative of California, but almost with a country-song perspective,” Raymond previously said of the track, “something that speaks to the empowerment of the everyman or everywoman.”
The single features on Crosby’s upcoming album For Free, arriving July 23rd, less than a month before his 80th birthday. The album — named after the Joni Mitchell...

R&b superstars Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak have joined forces to form a duo called Silk Sonic. The single “Leave The Door Open,” off their album “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” has so far been tremendously popular, recently topping the Billboard Hot 100. But while their continued commercial success seems all but certain, one question does remain: what are their Grammy chances? Let’s look at some past supergroups to see how the recording academy has reacted to them and what that might mean for this new dynamic duo.
The Highwomen
This critically acclaimed all-female supergroup consists of Grammy winners Maren Morris, Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby. The country and Americana quartet released their debut album in late 2019 to great reviews. As for the Grammys, they surprisingly only got one nom for Best Country Song for “Crowded Table,” which they eventually won against bigger hits like Miranda Lambert...

Music keeps this world going round, and as such, this year's Grammy Awards included some of the fiercest competition in years! On Sunday, musicians like Megan Thee Stallion, Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes fame, Dua Lipa, and more came together to celebrate one of the most fascinating years in music.

At 9 years old, Blue Ivy Carter became the second youngest Grammy winner for her contributions to mom Beyoncé's "Brown Skin Girl" video. It seems Beyoncé might be the key to winning Grammys, as Megan Thee Stallion also took home one for best rap performance...

Like most artists, Rosanne Cash has been stuck in her home for the bulk of the past year. But unlike some singer-songwriters who feel creatively paralyzed by the moment, Cash has been able to process what’s happened throughout 2020 — a deadly pandemic, an uprising for black lives, a looming election — into art.
“My tour was cancelled, and I was off the road, sequestered in my own home, with time, a stack of writing journals, and a recording studio in the basement,” Cash says. “The only thing to do was write songs.

No one ever knew what to call Mumford & Sons. The Guardian had already described them as “Coldplay reincarnated as hillbillies” by the time the group released their debut album in the U.S. in February 2010, a moment that garnered a slurry of descriptors: “foot-stomping British folk;” “skiffled Frames (nice banjo);” or, as this magazine wrote, “if Dexys Midnight Runners aged into boozy-pub session romantics.”
One word eventually stuck: Americana. The New York Times would describe the group as “Britons touched by Americana” later that year; a Spin cover story would...

Aaron Watson previews his new album Red Bandana with the lively “Kiss That Girl Goodbye,” folk supergroup I’m With Her return with “Call My Name” and Kassi Ashton brushes off an ex in this week’s list of must-hear songs.
Haley & Michaels, “Taking Off”
Released four years after Shannon Haley and Ryan Michaels’ wedding, this hot-to-trot single finds the country duo returning to honeymoon levels of passion. Both singers take their own verses before harmonizing together during the chorus, whose rapid-fire rhythm mirrors the rush of a steamy make-out session.

“I’m not even sure this band would exist without covers,” says Aoife O’Donovan, who plays guitar in the trio I’m With Her. The folk-supergroup consists of O’Donovan plus Sarah Jarosz (banjo, mandolin) and Sara Watkins (fiddle). All three of them sing, like a modern — and perhaps softer — version of Trio, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt’s brief Eighties supergroup. Like their forbears, I’m With Her bonded over other people’s songs. One they all loved was “Hannah Hunt.”

Pickathon celebrated its 20th anniversary this past weekend. To put this in sharp perspective, Portland, Oregon’s four-day musical shindig has been around longer than either Bonnaroo or Coachella, the two standard-bearers in American music festivals. But despite its age, Pickathon doesn’t attract the same kind of attention as its peers — and that’s by design. Tucked away on a farm nestled in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, it’s a hard-to-find festival, with some stages requiring literal hikes to access. But its ruggedness is part of the charm,...

When Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan assembled to form an Americana all-star trio a few years ago, the name “Monsters of Folk” had already been claimed by an all-male supergroup. “Monsters of NPR” doesn’t really have the right ring to it, and avoiding “I’m With Keillor” proved to be wise, even though all three women were strongly associated with “Prairie Home Companion” and are now staples of its successor, “Live From Here.” They settled on I’m With Her, which was not without liability as a moniker, as the phrase was soon thereafter pilfered as a political mantra. That vague association is okay — I’m With Her’s show Monday at Los Angeles’ Teregram Ballroom did feel a bit like a rally, in favor of stunning female harmony singing and virtuosity.
