Jahfin Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The newest members of the Country Hall of Fame are Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, the Statler Brothers and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman. Their upcoming induction was announced Tuesday in Nashville. Tammy Genovese of the Country Music Association says Harris is a revered song interpreter, while Hall is a renowned storyteller with his music. She says the Statler Brothers are America's poets and Pop Stoneman was a patriarch of country music. They will be formally inducted later this year.

Joelmon Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Geez...I'd have figured Emmylou would already be in The Hall !! One of the most memorable vocal moments EVER for me was back in the late 80s when I saw/heard her perform the Beatles...'Here, There and Everywhere'...at an outdoor free show here in Nashville. Made me cry..the beauty of her voice and her interpretation of the song. And ONE of the best albums' to come out of the 90s to me...was her 'Wrecking Ball' cd..produced by Daniel Lanios. Listening to it right now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer of the Gods Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 JUST now? It just goes to show where the modern country's priorities are... and it's sad. Very, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she'd be in it already (just matter-of-fact really). I love Wrecking Ball and recently bought Red Dirt Girl. And the stuff she did with Gram Parsons. And to top it all, she's so fucking gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
