They are going make their 2009 announcement on February 4. I am hoping that either Jean Shepard, Connie Smith Or Jim Ed Brown get in. The Wilburn Brothers would not be a bad choice either. All of the above would be in pre 1975 category. For the post 1975 category, I would like to see either Randy Travis or Alan Jackson. As far as sideman musician, I would like to see either Don Rich or Bashful Brother Oswald.

Razor,

Nonesuch Records is the “indie” branch for Warner. Kinda like “RED Distribution” is for Sony. It is funded by a ‘major’ but ran like an indie or at least perceived that way.

Kevin said, “…and with Harris finally being inducted, the 1975-present category has honored an artist that isn’t still on a major label for the first time.”

Emmylou is still on a major label. Nonesuch Records is a division of Warner Bros.

It is a shame that Kenny Rogers, Roy Clark, Barbra Mandrell, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Ronnie Milsap have not gone in by now. There is not a more talented woman in the World than Barbra Mandrell. More than 40 #1 hits is not good enough for Ronnie and Kenny. I am just glad the Statlers are finally in. I do not understand who these people are judging others careers and not recognize the greatness of the people I have mentioned.

Right on M.C posted 2/13/08. Emmylou is deserving of the honor. Your data is correct.

She has been an great influence on many. I especially like the fact that she had “dueted” (sang duets) with numberous folks.

I think there is a bunch of stars that should be in here that are not. It is such a shame some of the stars have to die before they are inducted. I’m glad to see the Statlers get in, I LOVE them

Best list of inductees in years. Statlers, Hall and Stoneman were way overdue, and with Harris finally being inducted, the 1975-present category has honored an artist that isn’t still on a major label for the first time. I’d have wagered money that Reba McEntire was getting that slot this year, but I’m happy to have been wrong. Harris belongs in there before her, though McEntire should get the nod in 2009, no doubt.
