Episode Description
Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit – Tim McGraw is joining the Country Music Hall of Fame! The good news came down on Friday, March 20, with McGraw earning a spot in the Modern Era category, which recognizes artists who have achieved national prominence over 20 years. As for the Veterans Era category, Ralph and Carter Stanley, (aka The Stanley Brothers) are being honored for their decadeslong career, which is punctuated by their most popular tune, "Man of Constant Sorrow." Interestingly, the Stanley Brothers band, known as the Clinch Mountain Boys, included a number of influential musicians, such as Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley. Finally, Paul Overstreet was selected in honor of his legendary storytelling. In fact, his songwriting credits are linked to massively popular songs such as "Forever and Ever Amen," "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," "When You Say Nothing At All" and "Some Ole Me," recorded by The Possum, George Jones. Huge congratulations to this year's inductees!
