It has been announced that Tanya Tucker, Patty Loveless, and Bob McDill will become the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame later this year. Monday’s Country Music Association ceremony at the Hall of Fame Rotunda was hosted by Vince Gill.
Country music legend, Tanya Tucker, will be inducted in the Veterans Era Artist Category. Tucker already had fans at the young age of 13, before her debut on the cover of Rolling Stone at age 15. Across her career, Tayna has placed 41 singles in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart. Tucker has also earned a dozen Gold and Platinum albums.
“I’m more than proud to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame,” Tucker said in a press release. “It was wonderful to have all three of my kids beside me when I got the news. The only way it could’ve been any better is if my parents Beau and Juanita Tucker could have been there too. They are the reason and the root of all my success in music. And the fans – they are everything! When I walk in that Hall they will all be with me.”
