The Country Music Hall of Fame has that Kenny Chesney, June Carter Cash and Tony Brown will comprise the Class of 2025.

Chesney’s laid back musical style has entertained fans since 1994, and the self-taught musician racked up piles of number one albums and singles on the Country charts.  Later this year, he will become the first Country act to headline the Sphere at Las Vegas.  He is this year’s Modern Era Artist inductee.

June Carter Cash is this year’s Senior Era Artist, and is best known for her collaborations with her husband Johnny Cash.  She did have a strong run of individual success in the late 50s, 60s and 70s, and was also a prolific songwriter.

Brown, a pianist who played for Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, enters in the Non-Performer Category for his work as a producer.  He oversaw over 100 Number One songs in that capacity.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Kenny started out getting a couple hits, but not really separating himself from the pack. Then after a few years he found his beach bum persona, and that allowed him the huge success that he has achieved to this date. So much success, that he has sold over 30 million albums and still has a radio career to this date that has been going on for over 25 years. Of course, it wasn’t only the beach bum tunes. He has littered his career with love songs and sad songs that are stand-outs in the genre. But it has been the beach songs that have set him apart from other artists and helped to get him noticed by a mainstream audience too. His music has also evolved through the years to add more pop and rock elements, with that being one of the few ways to stay relevant at country radio. And in another section of his success, Kenny has not been a stranger to awards either, having received 6 Grammy award nominations and won the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of The Year 4 times. He has certainly made it into the country history books, just not the Hall yet.
