Hank Williams Jr., Marty Stuart, and songwriter Dean Dillon set for Country Music Hall of Fame induction
“Bocephus has been eyeing this one for awhile. It’s a bright spot during a difficult year,” Williams said in a statement.
Stuart, a native of Philadelphia, Mississippi, got his start playing guitar in Lester Flatt’s group at the age of 13. He’d go on to join Johnny Cash’s band and form a bond with the country legend, before striking out on his own. Still, collaborations would figure prominently into his career: he recorded and toured often with Travis Tritt, delivering hits like “This One’s Gonna Hurt You ” and “Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best.
The songwriter Dillon is best known for his work with George Strait, who has turned Dillon cuts like “The Chair,” “Ocean Front Property,” and “If I Know Me” into timeless country hits. He’s also written songs for David Allan Coe , Vern Gosdin , and Toby Keith . Dillon is also a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The new class will be officially inducted at the traditional Medallion Ceremony later this year. In light of the ongoing pandemic, details are pending on the format it may take.
