It really depends on the vibe of the songs. Erika Luckett won for Female Singer Songwriter with songs that were often voice and guitar... Noelle Hampton won it with songs that were fully produced Pop-Rock in nature. (And both won album of the year in their respective years).

There's also Traditional Folk, where you find the likes of Shandy Lawson who has won 2 album awards there... he's mostly guitar and vocal only. There's also New Folk where solo guitar/vocal is often present. And finally Contemporary is another place you could find guitar/vocal performances. It's all about vibe for the most part. Where does it SOUND like it belongs. If it was a really whacked out song, it could be in novelty or experimental or even modern rock if is was really quirky or haunting. If it moves people, it will find a home.
