A New Class Of Country Music Hall Of Fame Members Inducted

The Country Music Hall of Fame held its 2019 Medallion ceremony in Nashville this weekend, inducting Brooks & Dunn, Ray Stevens and Jerry Bradley into the prestigious institution.

Brooks & Dunn were inducted in the Modern Era Category, and were honored with performances by Brothers Osborne, who performed “Brand New Man,” Luke Bryan, who covered “Red Dirt Road” and Trisha Yearwood, who sang “Believe.” The duo received their medallion from good friend Reba McEntire, and they were certainly honored by the accolade. “I’ve never been so proud and humbled,” Ronnie Dunn told the audience. “If you don’t believe that, just step in my heart right now.”

Stevens entered the Hall in the Veterans Era Artist category, with Ricky Skaggs on hand to perform “Misty” in his honor, while The McCrary Sisters also paid tribute to him with a gospel version of “Everything Is Beautiful.”

Finally music exec Bradley was inducted in the non-performer category, and was recognized for helping guide the careers of such artists as Dolly Parton and Charley Pride. He was honored with performances from Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt, who performed the Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson track “Good Hearted Woman,” while Yola sang Dolly’s “Jolene,” and Old Crow Medicine Show were joined by Molly Tuttle for Alabama’s “Dixieland Delight.”
