, which returned to an in-person ceremony at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium after being announced online last year due to the pandemic.
John Prine won artist of the year in 2020, posthumously — but that didn’t mean he was done winning plaudits from the Americana Music Association, as he merited one final trophy this year, too, for song of the year. He was awarded it for “I Remember Everything,” his one-off final recording; co-writer Pat McLaughlin shared the award.
Not everyone picking up trophies was a repeat winner in his or her category. Black Pumas won duo/group of the year for the first time. Last year it went to the Highwomen, a group that includes Carlile, who won three 2020 awards in all. Black Pumas hadn’t been shut out last year, though — they’d won in 2020 for emerging artist of the year.
