91fREPCzM9L._SL1500_The 57th Annual Grammy Awards were presented Feb. 8 in Los Angeles, California. Prior to the televised ceremonies from the Staples Center, awards were given to winners in a number of categories — including those that comprise the American Roots Music Field. Rosanne Cash was the big winner, capturing three of them.

Cash’s latest release, The River & the Thread, a collection of songs that connect and re-connect the New York-based singer-songwriter to the American South where she was born and from which her family hails, was named Americana Album of the Year. Among the album’s tracks is “A Feather’s Not a Bird,” which was honored by The Recording Academy as both the Best American Roots Performance and the Best American Roots Song. The River & the Thread also was the most-played album on Americana radio during 2014, according to the American Music Association.
