The Recording Academy has announced the 2025 GRAMMY Award nominees, and acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Sue Foley has earned a nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album for her remarkable solo acoustic project, ONE GUITAR WOMAN (Stony Plain Records).
On this groundbreaking album, Foley steps away from her signature pink Fender Telecaster, affectionately known as “Pinky,” and delivers a soul-stirring collection of twelve tracks accompanied solely by her expressive voice and a single nylon-string Flamenco guitar. ONE GUITAR WOMAN is a heartfelt homage to the trailblazing female guitarists who have shaped her artistry and inspired generations of musicians. Foley honors legends such as Elizabeth Cotten, Memphis Minnie, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, French classical guitarist Ida Presti, Southern blues icons Geeshie Wiley and Elvie Thomas, Tejano star Lydia Mendoza, the flamboyant and dynamic Charo, and the cornerstone of country music, Maybelle Carter.
The album has garnered widespread acclaim:
- “A lush, brilliantly performed salute to women who helped forge the history of the guitar.” — Living Blues Magazine
- “The kind of album that will live forever.” — Americana Highways
- “Confirms her new status as a major guitar talent.” — Soul Bag Magazine
- “Fabulous.” — Guitar Player Magazine
- “A sonic tapestry.” — Guitar Girl Magazine
Voting for the final round of the GRAMMY Awards is open to Recording Academy members through January 3, 2025. The winners will be announced during the annual GRAMMY Awards ceremony, broadcast live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, on February 2, 2025, on CBS.
