Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album has been awarded since 1989. The award has had several minor name changes:

• In 1989 the award was known as Best Bluegrass Recording (Vocal or Instrumental)
• From 1990 to 1991 it was awarded as Best Bluegrass Recording
• From 1992 to the present it has been awarded as Best Bluegrass Album

In 1990, the Best Bluegrass Recording was presented to a single rather than an album.

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
