Ah, just seeing the Statler Brothers name reminds me of the gospel casettes and
Gaither Homecoming VHS tapes of my childhood. Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman made the Country Hall of Fame cut, too. Read
the AP report for reasons why this year's crop was chosen.
Christy,
They are ALL deserving but I've always been partial to Emmylou. She is class personified with abundant talent. The woman has always made music that matters.
