“Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you”

When the Recording Academy announced the addition of Best Traditional Country Album to its slate of Grammy Awards categories, it marked more than a simple administrative update—it was the result of years of conversation, data and, most importantly, listening.

The announcement, shared in June, outlined that with the addition of this new category, the existing Best Country Album category will now be named Best Contemporary Country Album. The purpose of the refinement is to recognize artists such as Charley Crockett, Sierra Ferrell, Colter Wall and Noeline Hoffman, who fall outside the realm of mainstream country.

“We’ve been hearing from artists for a long time,” Shelly Maree, an Awards Manager at the Academy who oversees the country music field, tells MusicRow. “They didn’t feel fully reflected in the categories as they stood, neither in the existing country categories nor in the American Roots field. So this came from them: the creators, the voting members. It’s been in the works for a while.”

Maree and her colleague Ralph Olivarez, Director in the Awards Department, were part of the team that helped bring the new category to life. For Olivarez, who oversees the American Roots field (which includes genres like bluegrass, Americana, folk and traditional blues), the change brings much-needed clarity.
