Americana Music Industry Hands Out Honors
Alabama Shakes, Gillian Welch and The Civil Wars all took home trophies when the 11th Americana Honors and Awards were handed out in Nashville on September 12. A number of lifetime achievement awards were given out as well.
***
Booker T. Jones of Booker T & The MGs fame opened the two-and-a-half-hour-long awards ceremony by performing his classic hit Green Onions with a star-studded band that included Richard Thompson on electric guitar. Both men received lifetime achievement awards from the Americana Music Association: Jones as an instrumentalist, and Thompson for his songwriting.
Bestowing his award was Bonnie Raitt, who would later receive a trophy of her own.
Perhaps the Americana Awards seems an odd place to celebrate the work of someone so intimately connected with the British folk revival, but its the songs. Jo-El Sonniers reading of Richards 'Tear Stained Letter,' Del McCourys version of '1952 Vincent Black Lightning,' Alison Krauss and my own renditions of 'Dimming of the Day,' which Id like to say he wrote in his 20s," Raitt said. "Its the songs, a respect for and the awareness of the traditions from which they emerged. But mostly, its just the magic of song. Oh, and hes a pretty legendary guitarist as well.
Later in the evening, Bonnie Raitt was given the Lifetime Achievement in Performance award by John Hiatt, who himself had received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting in 2008.
In his speech, Hiatt spoke of Raitts years of singing the blues.Shes kept this sound alive, made it sing over thousands of shows down that sometimes hard road, always looking for the joy, he said.
Later, the pair took to the stage and performed John Hiatts composition Thing Called Love, later a hit for Bonnie Raitt.
Gillian Welch was named Artist of the Year, and her guitar-playing partner David Rawlings took home the Instrumentalist of the Year trophy. The Alabama Shakes received the New/Emerging Artist award and Song of the Year went to Jason Isbell for Alabama Pines.
Producers Tamara Saviano and Shawn Camp won Album of the Year for This Ones For Him: A Tribute To Guy Clark. That award came minutes after Clark performed My Favorite Picture of You, a song written for his wife Susannah, who died in June. Clarks performance of the song was one of the most powerful moments of a star-packed awards show.
