With musicians Eddie Bayers (drummer) and Pete Drake (steel guitar) selected in 2021, and a non-performer, Joe Galante, selected in 2022, it would be a songwriter to be selected in 2022. If there is a tie in voting in any category, two names can be selected, as we saw in 2021. 1) Modern Era – Eligible for induction 20 years after they first achieve “national prominence.” 2) Veterans Era – Eligible for induction 40 years after they first achieve “national prominence.” 3) Non-Performer, Songwriter, and Recording and/or Touring Musician active prior to 1980 – Rotates every 3 years. Since 2010, the selection process has been split up into three categories. The Country Music Hall of Fame inductees are selected through a committee process appointed by the Country Music Association (CMA). But it also keeps the Hall of Fame honor exclusive and distinguished. This has also caused a glut of good names being left out in recent years, stirring controversy in itself. ![]() This way a bad name never slips through the process, hypothetically. ![]() Unlike other Halls of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame tries to keep the institution distinguished by letting only a few names in each year. A secret committee commissioned by the CMA is going over their final ballots and whittling down the names to the few who will make it into one of country music’s most hallowed institutions. ![]() It’s that time of year again to consider who might be in the running for the precious few spots as the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
