The Country Music Hall of Fame recently held it’s annual medallion induction ceremony honoring Tom T Hall and the Statler Brothers as the newest members of the Hall. Joining the Hall in honoring these two legends were Bobby Bare and Reba McEntire who are legends themselves. Chet Flippo of CMT.com was there to catch all the action.

The surprise of the evening, though, was the overwhelming reception accorded a couple of newer acts. A sweet-sounding traditional duo from North Carolina, Heather Berry and Tony Mabe, won the crowd over with their charming rendition of Hall’s “Can You Hear Me Now.” They have also recorded the song for their new CD. And new bluegrass duo Dailey & Vincent ran through an energetic and rigorous version of the Statlers’ “Do You Know You Are My Sunshine” and drew a well-deserved audience ovation. All 100 percent genuine, effects-free musical performances, all night.

Induction into the Hall is the pinnacle of any career in country music. There are currently 105 of country music’s best inducted into the Hall of Fame.
