Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album (2022)
Data Insight

My Savior is a gospel covers album: all thirteen tracks are traditional hymns and spiritual standards such as "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art," so Underwood's role is purely interpretive rather than as a writer. She co-produced the record with David Garcia and brought in gospel legend CeCe Winans for a duet. The performances earned her the Grammy for Best Roots Gospel Album.

"My Savior" is the 2021 gospel album by Carrie Underwood, a collection of traditional Christian hymns set to country and gospel arrangements that she co-produced with David Garcia. The album included "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus" featuring Bear Rinehart, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" with CeCe Winans, "Just as I Am," and "Victory in Jesus," backed by session musicians including Buddy Greene, Bryan Sutton, and Mac McAnally. It debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and reached number 1 on both Top Country Albums and Top Christian Albums, marking her ninth consecutive number 1 country album. "My Savior" was certified Gold by the RIAA. Underwood won the Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album for the record at the 2022 ceremony.
