Country Music Hall of Fame
Class of 2023

April 3rd Announcement:

Singer Patty Loveless, songwriter Bob McDill, and singer Tanya Tucker are joining the Country Music Hall of Fame. Election to the Country Music Hall of Fame is country music’s highest honor, and new members are elected annually by an anonymous panel of industry leaders chosen by the Country Music Association (CMA).

“For unerring taste in tunes, unmatched vocal soul and enduring commitment to Appalachian artistry, Patty Loveless has no equal. A thrilling quiver runs through me every time I hear her sing.”

~ Robert K. Oermann | Country Music Historian & Author

Opry Member since 1988

If any contemporary country star seemed born to be a Grand Ole Opry member, it was Patty Loveless. Growing up as one of seven children born to a Kentucky coal miner, Patty has distinct memories of singing along to the Opry on Friday and Saturday nights — at age 3 — while her mom mopped floors. As she became a teenager, she was able to meet Porter Wagoner, who recognized Patty’s tremendous voice, as did his professional partner, Dolly Parton.

“My brother Roger and I went into Porter’s office together back in 1971 where I performed a couple of songs I wrote. Porter invited us to the taping of his TV show that day, and to attend the Opry backstage as his guest. So my first visit to the Opry, when I was 14 years old, was when it was still at the Ryman,” she recalls. “Going as the guest of Dolly and Porter, it was the very first time I really got to visit backstage, and I felt like I was just in hillbilly heaven.”

In Her Own Words…

Fans of roots music have asked Patty Loveless for years to reprise the Appalachian sound of her 2001 Mountain Soul CD, and now she has at last. Like its predecessor, Mountain Soul II features Patty’s superb country vocals amid bluegrass-tinged instrumentation.

“It’s Appalachian, bluegrass and country combined,” says Patty of her new collection’s sound. “You should never try to duplicate something like Mountain Soul. What you should do is enhance. So this is like a continuation.”

The first Mountain Soul CD was issued in June 2001. As a result of its enthusiastic reception, Patty Loveless was invited to perform on the critically acclaimed “Down From the Mountain” tour. She says that experience introduced her to a whole new audience.

“I was blessed to be able to expose my music to people who normally don’t listen to country music. They loved the more organic, roots-y thing, but they don’t listen to mainstream country. I met quite a few people who told me that. They kept wanting me to try and recapture that sound. They’d say, ‘When are you going to do another record like this? We love this album.’ I guess they kind of talked me into it.”

CMA Awards Performance • Chris Stapleton

A month before the 2022 CMA Awards Show, Chris Stapleton blew the roof off the “Kentucky Rising” flood relief concert by bringing out Patty Loveless in a rare live appearance. At the CMA Awards in Nashville, the two artists gave a highly anticipated encore.

Stapleton and Loveless performed “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” on the CMA Awards telecast. The song, penned by Darrell Scott, was recorded by Loveless for her 2001 album, Mountain Soul. She opened the song on her own, accompanied only by Stapleton’s guitar — with all the passion, finesse and soul you’d expect — before trading verses with the singer and wife/bandmate Morgane Stapleton.

Rebels & Angels • Terry McBride

The title cut from Terry McBride’s recent album, “Rebels & Angels,” was co-written by McBride and Chris Stapleton.  “Luke Laird (producer) asked me what I would be interested in bringing to the record, and I had this song I loved that I had written with Chris Stapleton,” McBride tells of how Patty got involved on the record. “I loved that song, and I knew it would never be recorded because it is so country and it’s a waltz– it was such a throwback.

“I was listening to the story line of the song one day and I realized it lends itself perfectly for a duet, being all about rebels and angels. I thought wouldn’t it be cool if I sang the first verse and a female sang the second verse. One of my favorite singers is Patty Loveless. The first tour I did with McBride & The Ride was Desert Rose and Patty and us. So I sent the song to Luke and said I’d love to have Patty on it, and he emailed her and then she called me. I was like being a fan boy talking to Patty – she was so gracious and so sweet. Even to this day she shares all about the song on socials, and it gets a lot of response to that in the streaming world because of Patty’s involvement. We are on over 300 playlists at the moment. Her fans are over the top excited about it.”

Bible and a .44 • Trisha Yearwood

Collaborating with other artists is always exciting for Patty, and there are several projects in which she has participated of late. One of those is this extraordinary feature vocal on Trisha Yearwood’s “Bible And A .44” from Trisha’s album Every Girl.

Trisha’s new album includes covers by women ranging from Karla Bonoff (“Home”) and Gretchen Peters (“The Matador”) to Ashley McBryde (“Bible and a .44”), a newer artist Yearwood discovered through her singer-songwriter stepdaughter, Allie Colleen.

For her McBryde cover, Yearwood called on Patty, whom she describes as “one of the first artists that was nice to me” after Yearwood signed to MCA, for guest vocals. “When I heard ‘Bible and a .44,’ I just was like, ‘I want to sing that,’” Yearwood said. “It’s about her dad, but it was so about my dad for me. We cut it, and then I just kept hearing Patty Loveless. She was kind enough to come sing on it.”
