Kenny Rogers, Bobby Bare, Jack Clement For Country Hall Of Fame
. Grand Ole Opry host and Hall of Fame member "Whisperin'" Bill Anderson presided over the announcement at a ceremony Wednesday morning in Nashville, along with the CMA president Steve Moore and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum director Kyle Young. Considered the highest honor in the genre, the Hall of Fame includes such legends as Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton. Last year's inductees were Garth Brooks, Hargus "Pig" Robbins, and Connie Smith. As Young noted during his introduction, all three of this year's honorees were born in the 1930s during the Great Depression and country music's formative years. They have seen the genre grow and develop quite a bit since then, from the honky-tonk era through "the birth or rock and roll" and on up to "the rise of sophisticated pop country" today. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
