The 2020 Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance has been awarded to Willie Nelson for his "Ride Me Back Home," from his 2019 album of the same name

Nelson did not attend the Grammy Premiere Ceremony, where the award was announced, so host Luis Fonsi accepted the award on his behalf.

Nominees in this category this year included Tyler Childers for "All Your'n," Ashley McBryde's "Girl Goin' Nowhere," Blake Shelton for "God's Country" and Tanya Tucker's "Bring My Flowers Now."

Over his career, Nelson has been nominated for 52 Grammys. His most recent win was in 2019 for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album (for My Way). He has previously won for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2016 for Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin, Best Country Collaboration With Vocals in 2007 for "Lost Highway" and again in 2002 for "Mendocino County Line."
