The Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal , in German "Grammy Award for the best country vocal performance by a duo or a group", is a music prize awarded from 1970 to 2011 by the American Recording Academy in the field the country music was awarded.
History and background
Since 1959, the Grammy Awards are presented annually in numerous categories by the Recording Academy in the United States to recognize artistic achievement, technical competence, and overall outstanding performance regardless of album sales or chart position.
One of these categories was the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The award was awarded from 1970 to 2011 and had a few minor name changes:
- In 1970 the award was called the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group
- From 1971 to 1981 it was called the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group
- From 1982 to 2011 the title was Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
The award was discontinued in a major overhaul of the Grammy categories following the 2011 Grammy Awards. As of 2012, all duo or group performances in the field of country music will be recognized in the newly formed Grammy Award for Best Country Duo / Group Performance category.
Both the Dixie Chicks and the band The Judds have received five awards in this category. Other multiple winners are Alison Krauss and Union Station as well as Emmylou Harris , who have each won three times, and Asleep at the Wheel , Brooks & Dunn , Alabama , Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson, and Lady Antebellum , who have each won twice.
