Due to the limited nature of IBMA’s informational resources, this list does not necessarily contain 100% of the bluegrass recordings first released during the eligibility period, so members are not restricted to the entries on this list when making their first ballot write-in nominations. Albums re- issued and/or special compilations of previously released material are not listed here, but may contain individual songs eligible for certain awards.
All recordings are listed in alphabetical order by artist or group name.
