It is another major announcement in the Hall of Fame season that will wrap up soon, as the Country Music Hall of Fame has named three inductees of the Class of 2023. They are Patti Loveless (Modern Era), Tanya Tucker (Veterans Era) and Bob McDill (Songwriter).

Loveless had ten number one songs, with 41 overall in the top ten, most of which came in the 1990s.

Tucker, who is close to age of Loveless (Tucker is 64 and Loveless is 66), began her career as a teen, and had most of her big hits well before Loveless’s run took off.

McDill wrote a bevy of hits, most notably recorded by country legends such as Ronnie Milsap.   The Country Hall rotates the induction of Songwriters with Recording and/or Touring Musician and Non-Performer.

With the help of special contributor, Aaron Freeman, our Notinhalloffame.com Country list will be updated soon.

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

The Country Music Hall of Fame, one of the most prestigious music halls in not just the United States, but in the World, have announced the Class of 2021.  This includes four inductees, including Ray Charles and the Judds.

Entering in the Veteran Category, Charles might seem to be to a layman to be an odd choice for the Country Hall, but the love that he had for Country has long been documented.  His 1962 album, “Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music” is considered by critics to be one of the most important albums in the genre, and it crossed bridges that were previously considered uncrossable.

The Modern Era Category sees the mother and daughter combination of Naomi and Wynonna Judd enter the Hall.  From Kentucky, the dop first entered the Country charts in 1984, and would a few years later would breakthrough to the mainstream.  The Judds had three number one albums, and fourteen number one singles on the Country Chart.

They are joined by Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake, who enter in the triennial Recording/Touring musician category, as the result of a tie.

This brings the amount of Country Music Hall of Fame nominees to 146.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our congratulations to the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Country Music Hall of Fame has announced the Country Music Hall of Fame Class of 2020, which will include one Veteran Era Artist, Hank Williams Jr., one Modern Era Artist, Marty Stuart, and one Songwriter, Dean Dillon.

Hank Williams Jr. is the son of legendary county artist, Hank Williams, who himself was inducted into the Country Music Hall nearly 60 years ago.  Williams Jr. had been performing for years, arguably gaining attention based on his name, but it was in the mid-70s when a stylistic change to a more rowdy and rock based country that propelled him to the top of the country charts.  He has eight number one singles on the country charts.

Marty Stuart has been active since 1968 and he has had 30 songs that made the Country charts.  The native of Philadelphia, Mississippi, never went number one, but did have a number two hit with “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’”, a duet with Travis Tritt.

Dean Dillon was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002, and in addition to his own songs, he has written many hits for George Strait.  His biggest song, “Tennessee Whiskey” was covered by many artists.  

Notably the Songwriter category is only in place every three years.  It rotates between Non-Performers and Recording and/or Touring Musicians.  

The Class of 2020 will be inducted later this year, but do the pandemic, there is not date or location announced at this time.
