Movies about ZZ Top and Linda Ronstadt were among the nominees in the Best Music Film category. And David Byrne received a nom for Best Musical Theater Album thanks to his American Utopia on Broadway, while Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea is a nominee for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio version of his memoir Acid for the Children.

Two classic artists received posthumous nominations: John Prine is up for both Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song, while Leonard Cohen's Thanks for the Dance is a nominee in the Best Folk Album category.

The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach received a nomination for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, an honor he previously won in 2013. Also up for Producer of the Year: Andrew Watt, who counts Ozzy Osbourne’s Ordinary Man among his credits.
