Brooks & Dunn, Ray Stevens, and Jerry Bradley were officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame during the annual Medallion ceremony on Sunday, October 20th! Several country music stars came out to pay tribute to these legends.
Luke Bryan, Brothers Osborne, Trisha Yearwood and Reba McEntire honored Kix and Ronnie. John and TJ Osborne performed the duo’s “Brand New Man,” while Luke turned in their 2003 hit, “Red Dirt Road.” Luke has not only cited Ronnie as one of his vocal idols, but also recalled how Kix reached out to him when his sister unexpectedly passed away in 2007.
“It was Kix Brooks on the phone just telling me he was sorry about our loss. And I never will forget it. What an amazing gesture. (I) hung the phone up and called my whole family, and we were just amazed,” Luke shared during the celebration.
Congrats to Brooks & Dunn, Ray Stevens, and Jerry Bradley on joining the Country Music Hall of Fame! Share this news with other country music fans!
“Play Something Country” Lyrics
Yes, she blew through the door like TNT,
Put her hand on her hip, pointed a finger at me.
Said “I’m a whiskey drinking, cowboy chasing, helluva time.
“I like Kenny, Keith, Allan and Patsy Cline.
“I’m a full grown queen bee looking for honey.
“Ha oh ho, aw, play something country.”
Yeah, the band took a break,
The DJ played P Diddy.
She said “I didn’t come here to hear,
Something thumping from the city.”
Said “I, I shaved my legs, I paid my money.”
Ha oh ho, play something country.”
“Ha oh ho, aw, play something country.”
Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let’s rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled “I’m a George Strait junkie.”
“Ha oh ho, play something country.”
“Ha oh ho, aw, play something country.”
Yeah, the bartender yelled “y’all, it’s closing time.”
She got this wild look on her face,
An’ said “Your truck or mine,
“I know a place down the road,
“It’s kinda funky.
“Ha oh ho, all out in the country.
“Ha oh ho, now, play something country.”
Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let’s rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled “I’m a George Strait junkie.”
“Ha oh ho, play something country.”
“Ha oh ho, aw, play something country.”
Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let’s rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled “I’m a George Strait junkie.”
“Ha oh ho, play something country.”
“Ha oh ho, aw, play something country.”
