Lucinda Williams, Allison Russell, Brandy Clark could be Americana's top contenders
the Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, Rolling Stone is breaking down 16 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will win on Grammy night.
Americana is a wide-open category, partly because it’s hard to define. “I always look at half of the folk category and think they are more Americana than half of the Americana nominees,” says Nelson Gullett, an Americana radio veteran and music director at WDVX in Knoxville. And as the nomination of Jackson Browne’stwo years ago shows, Americana can be a place to honor strong late-career work from legends.
Clark has amassed double-digit Grammy nominations over the past 10 years, and after a nom from the Tonys in May for her contributions to the Broadway hit, she’s something of a lock for Grammy attention. Though she’s been a presence in the country categories, the stripped-down production of this self-titled return to form — courtesy of Americana mainstay Brandi Carlile — feels better suited here.
This story is adapted from Rolling Stone’s fourth annual Grammy Preview issue, released ahead of the start of first-round voting on Oct. 13th. We , spoke to some of the year’s biggest artists about the albums and singles that could earn them a statue come February, made our best predictions for the nominees in the top categories, and more, providing a full guide to what to watch for in the lead-up to the 2024 awards.
