Reba McEntire, Luke Bryan, Trisha Yearwood, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt were among the guest performers during the medallion ceremony in Nashville, where record executive Jerry Bradley also was inducted.
Best-selling country duo of all time Brooks & Dunn, comedian and singer Ray Stevens and record executive Jerry Bradley joined the Country Music Hall of Fame in a star-filled ceremony on Sunday night that was full of tributes to their hit songs and their lasting legacies in country music.
With hits such as "Brand New Man," ''Boot Scootin' Boogie," ''My Maria" and ''Neon Moon," the pair filled arenas and sold more than 28 million albums in the U.S. alone.
Dunn acknowledged that he was often over-analytical of himself and noted that even his therapist was in attendance that night. But he said that he tried hard to keep himself from getting too emotional.album and the induction has put them back in the spotlight again, and they are nominated for two CMA Awards for duo of the year and musical event at the CMA Awards in November.
Skaggs performed the jazz standard "Misty," which Stevens rearranged into a country bluegrass version that became his biggest country hit in 1975 and earned him a Grammy for arrangement. The McCrary Sisters performed a gospel version of "Everything Is Beautiful," which brought tears to Stevens, who was seated in the front row.
