The new list of Country Music Hall of Famers was announced today. The less I say about most of it, the better. The highlight for me, oddly enough, is the one that a lot of people are fuming about: Ray Stevens. You may or may...

Back in 2016 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame took a beating, losing six members in the first two months of the year. It seems the Country Music Hall of Fame is on pace to have an equally tragic year. The Hall of Fame has lost two...

My final entry in my look at the acts who I feel have been shunned by the Country Music Hall of Fame for far too long. This act is at the top of the list because they have been ignored due to old grudges, and it's high time that...

Ten Acts Who Belong in the Country Hall of Fame: There Are More

Four Walls @FourWalls (86993) • United States 6 May 16

My third and final countdown discussion series right now isn't so much looking at songs as careers, and what made those careers so unique and special that they, to me, warrant recognition by the Country Music Hall of Fame. This...

Ten Acts Who Belong in the Country Hall of Fame: Jerry Reed (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86993) • United States 5 May 16

My third active "top ten" list isn't a look at any particular group's ten favorite songs of mine, but rather my favorite music (country) and the glaring omissions from its hall of fame. Moving into the top three, these are beyond...

Ten Acts Who Belong in the Country Hall of Fame: Hank Locklin (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86993) • United States 1 May 16

For my last "top ten" list entry of the day I'm turning to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the glaring omissions from their hallowed walls in the rotunda. This is "clique" work at best, and deep geek interest at worst, but...

Along with the other "top ten" lists, where I talk about songs, I'm including this different sort of "top ten" list. This one shines a light on ten acts that I feel have been ignored way too long when it comes to being inducted...

I'm continuing that series that results in crickets chirping. Seriously, most people who say they're "country music fans" today don't care a thing for country music that came before Garth Brooks. That's sad,...

Ten Acts Who Belong in the Country Hall of Fame: Dottie West (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86993) • United States 26 Apr 16

This is an unusual "top ten" list, because it's not going to interest 99.999% of you. I'm doing this after @JohnRoberts suggested a list of ten acts I thought belonged in the Country Music Hall of Fame. And, I need to point out...

I still have a pretty bad taste in my mouth about the inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame, which were announced earlier this week (March 29). It's not that I don't like Charlie Daniels, and not that I have anything...
