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.

Born into the famous Carter Family, June was a part of country music history without even singing a note. The Carter Family is known as the first family of country music, because they were one of the first popular acts in the genre during the 1920’s, and they set the standard. June was born in 1929, and by 1937 she was performing with her sisters as the Carter Sisters. June never felt she was the best singer or musician in the group, but where she shined was in her humour performing silly songs and skits during the shows. As the years went on, she had worked with her sisters and had some solo hits as well through the 1950’s, but she became most famous for her marriage and popular musical association to Johnny Cash (she had also previously been married to famous country singer Carl Smith, adding to her multiple connections throughout country music history). She also co-wrote one of Johnny’s most famous hits “Ring Of Fire”. June awon 5 Grammy awards throughout her musical career. Outside of music, she was also a dancer, author and actress, even going to school for acting later on and appeared in various tv shows and movies. So she may not have had the biggest radio resume ever, but June is an important piece in the long history of country music and very much deserves a spot.
