Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo

Juno Award

The Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo is presented annually at Canada's Juno Awards to honour the best album of the year in the roots and/or traditional music genres. Prior to 1996, a single award was presented for "Best Roots & Traditional Album", whose winner could be a solo artist or a band; for the 1996 ceremony, the award was split for the first time into distinct awards, one for solo artists and one for groups.
