Nashville, Tenn. • Country hit-making duo Brooks & Dunn are riding a resurgence of interest in ’90s-era country music with a new album celebrating their top-selling singles, a longstanding Las Vegas residency and now an invitation to join the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The duo, along with comedic singer Ray Stevens and record label head Jerry Bradley, were announced Monday as this year's inductees and will be formally inducted during a ceremony later this year.
"There's a lot going on at this stage that generally doesn't happen," Ronnie Dunn told The Associated Press after the press conference inside the Hall of Fame's rotunda featuring plaques honoring the icons of the industry.
