No surprise here! Kenny Rogers along with two other Country greats will be joining the Country Hall of Fame later on this year!

Blake is all about New Country, very true, but anything that is good now has it's roots in things of the past that were great. Kenny Rogers is one of those greats.

Country Aircheck published news today that the Country Hall of Fame will be inducting three new members sometime later this year.

This year's Country Music Hall of Fame inductees are, in the Non-Performer category, Cowboy Jack Clement; in the Veterans Era Artist category, Bobby Bare; and in the Modern Era Artist Category, Kenny Rogers. The honorees will be celebrated at the annual invitation-only Medallion Ceremony later this year.

Blake salutes these artists and their contributions to Country Music ! Without it, Country music would not be the same!
