as this year’s trio of inductees, it was announced Wednesday morning by the Country Music Association.
The singer alluded to the idea that the award might have been a while in coming while expressing gracious thanks in an emotional statement. Stuart has enjoyed a particularly high profile lately after having been one of the clear stars of Ken Burns’ “Country Music” series. Stuart is one of the form’s foremost historians as well as one of its stars, and might be the one country music singer who would be completely capable of switching gears to run and program the Country Hall of Fame himself on a moment’s notice.
“I was just speechless,” said Dillon. “Trying to soak in the words that I had just heard. My life flashed before my eyes. You could’ve knocked me over with a feather.”
