Rapper Puff Daddy, Lilith Fair founder Sarah
McLachlan, country-bluegrass performer Ali
son Kraus, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the late news
man Charles Kuralt were also multiple winners
in the 40th annual awards show, held in Radio
City Music Hall.
Bob Dylan’s album, Time Out of Mind, won

“He really wanted one. it makes it real
special to be here today. We’ll take it up to
Aspen (Colo.) and put it in his house some
place special," he said.
Another first-time winner was rocker John
Fogerty, the former leader of Creedence
Clearwater Revival, who took home the award
for best rock album — Blue Moon Swamp.
