Hank Williams Jr. To Be Inducted Into The Country Music Hall of Fame
The Country Music Association announced the 2020 inductees for the Country Music Hall of Fame are Hank Williams Jr., Dean Dillon, and Marty Stuart.
Hank Jr. said, “Bocephus has been eyeing this one for awhile. It’s a bright spot during a difficult year. I have been making Top 10 records for 56 years. I fell off a mountain and tried to reinvent myself as a truly individual artist and one who stepped out of the shadows of a very famous man…one of the greatest. I’ve got to thank all those rowdy friends who, year after year, still show up for me. It’s an honor to carry on this family tradition. It is much appreciated.” Williams will be inducted in the “Veterans Era Artist” category.
Marty Stuart will be inducted in the “Modern Era Artist” category. He said, “It is the ultimate honor in Country Music. I’m so honored to be included in this class and I’m honored to be included alongside Hank Jr. and Dean Dillon. I love those people. To be officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame is beyond words. I’m usually not at a loss for words.”
Dean Dillon will be inducted in the “Songwriter” category. He said, “I was just speechless. 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.”
