I&#8217;ve always considered the Country Music Hall of Fame &#8212; I&#8217;ve said it &#8212; it is our ultimate treasure chest. It is the greatest living room that the family of Country music has together, and I&#8217;ve always felt like I was a part of it, but to be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame, it is beyond words. I&#8217;m usually not at a loss for words.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dillon said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was just speechless. Trying to soak in the words that I had just heard.

It\u2019s 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&#8230;one of the greatest. I\u2019ve got to thank all those rowdy friends who, year after year, still show up for me. It\u2019s an honour to carry on this family tradition. It is much appreciated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDyeTzTJMGS\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hank Williams, Jr., Marty Stuart and songwriter Dean Dillon are all headed into the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":16639,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[742,2229,2058,2228],"class_list":["post-16607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-country-music-hall-of-fame","tag-dean-dillon","tag-hank-williams-jr","tag-marty-stuart"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 18:19:28","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2020\/08\/country-music-hall-of-fame-announces-2020-inductees\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16608,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16607\/revisions\/16608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
