Ingram, Randall, McBride join Texas Music Hall

This year's class of inductees also included Eric Johnson and Ruthie Foster.

Ingram has released 11 studio albums, one extended play, six live albums, and 19 singles. He reached the U.S. Country Top 40 with "Wherever You Are" in late-2005. A number one hit on the Billboard country charts, that song was also his first release for Big Machine and that label's first Number One hit. Ingram has sent six other songs into the country Top 40 with "Love You", "Lips of an Angel" (a cover version of a song by Hinder), "Measure of a Man," "Maybe She'll Get Lonely," "That's a Man" and "Barefoot and Crazy."

In 2000, he collaborated with Charlie Robison and Bruce Robison for the live album "Unleashed Live." His most recent release was "The Marfa Tapes," a laid-back disc recorded with Miranda Lambert and Randall.

Along with his tenure as frontman for McBride & the Ride, McBride's songs have been recorded by Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr. and Alan Jackson.

"I've loved you for a long, long time. You are the brother I never wanted, but so glad I have," Wynonna Judd joked to McBride in the accompanying video for his induction. "I could not be happier for you."

McBride has had more than 25 songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, including 13 singles, four number one songs, and five top-five singles. He also wrote the mega-hit "If You See Him/If You See Her," recorded by Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire. Dunn hosted the show, and joined McBride for performances of "Play Something Country" and "Cowgirls Don't Cry."

"Ronnie was one of my favorite singers long before he ever recorded one of my songs," McBride said in his speech. "As McBride & The Ride was winding down, Brooks & Dunn recorded a song of mine in '96. As one door closed another door opened with Ronnie and Brooks & Dunn. Ronnie saved me and my songwriting career and allowed me to keep my house."

A Lampasas, Texas native, McBride spent his teenage summers on the road with his dad, the late Dale McBride, who was a recording artist with several Billboard charting singles. After joining his father's band, he became a sought-after bass player in the local scene. In 1989, McBride left Austin for Nashville where his songs found their way to MCA president Tony Brown, who would later go on to sign McBride to a recording contract with the label.

McBride & The Ride was formed in the 1990s and would record four albums for MCA over the next five years. The trio racked up several top five singles including "Sacred Ground," a number one single in 1992, and the band received CMA and ACM nominations for vocal group of the year before disbanding in 1995. After his run with McBride & The Ride, McBride began to focus most of his attention on songwriting.

This year's show also included performances by Lambert, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris.

"I'm thrilled to be able to share this night with my friends and family and I am truly honored and humbled," McBride concluded in his acceptance speech. "Texans are a proud bunch and tonight I am so proud to be a Texan, a songwriter and the latest inductee into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame."

Randall's career began as a guitarist for Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers with whom he won his first Grammy for their "Live at the Ryman" album in 1992. Between 1995 and 2005 Randall released three solo albums, "What You Don't Know," "Willin'" and "Walking Among the Living."

Randall has enjoyed success as a songwriter. He penned "Whiskey Lullaby" recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss which won the 2005 CMA Song of the Year Award and "Tin Man" by Lambert which won the 2018 ACM Song of the Year Award. He has also had cuts with Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Maren Morris, Kenny Chesney, Kip Moore, Brad Paisley, Scotty McCreery, Guy Clark, Little Big Town, Gary Allan, Travis Denning and Lambert.

Randall produced Bentley's "Up on the Ridge", (2010) which was nominated for the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and "The Mountain" (2018). He also has produced records for Dwight Yoakam, Jack Ingram, Pat Green, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jessi Alexander and Parker McCollum.
