RIAA's "Grammy Award Winners for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album"

Awarded since 1986 to contemporary folk (hard to describe this as there’s no general consensus but I’d say acoustically based singer-songwriter music written in the modern era with a spare arrangement. If someone else can come up with a better definition, I’ll adjust this..) or Americana (roots-based music usually with a country flavor. Country here means as practiced by Hank Senior rather than say, Rascal Flatts) album recognized by Recording Industry Association of America voters.
