Braddock Sheppard, McEntire join Country Music Hall of Fame
McEntire was able to make the induction. She was not available for the announcement because she had to rush to her father's bedside in Oklahoma because he was very sick.
Shepard and McEntire were singers from Oklahoma and McEntire paid homage to Shepard, according to a report in the Tennessean. "Jean Shepard did so much for women in country music," McEntire said. "I'm honored to be going into the Hall of Fame with her."
"There've been a lot of changes in country music," Shepard said. "I love some of them. I love Reba."
Braddock is known as a songwriter, including He Stopped Loving Her Today and D-I-V-O-R-C-E and People Are Crazy.
The Country Music Association created the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1961 to recognize noteworthy individuals for their outstanding contributions to the format.
The event was held at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Among those attending were George Jones, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Bill Anderson and Elizabeth Cook.

While Underwood's release may have been her country-ist album – ever, perhaps – McEntire has strayed far less often from her traditional music roots. With "My Chains Are Gone," McEntire gives us a selection of songs she – like Underwood – grew up singing. Therefore, she knows them all like the back of her hand, the way ...
The beauty of Reba McEntire's albums flows from her way with a phrase, knowing when to modulate to carry us deeper into sadness or joy and when to pull back when she wants us to listen quietly to the lessons of a tear falling. Her songs can also urge us to scamper across the dance floor to twin fiddles, celebrating the exhilarating freedom of the moment or the satisfaction of breakup from a messy relationship. This album follows the end of McEntire's marriage to her manager. ...
Reba McEntire's "My Kind of Christmas," is essentially the same album, with the same title, she released a while back through Cracker Barrel. The project is mostly comprised of the country Wonder Woman's strong singing voice, backed by acoustic piano. The new wrinkle in this expanded edition, though, is a bevy of guest vocalists. These guest spots are so good, it's worth the extra bucks to get the full package.
Reba is joined by the dynamic husband and wife team, Vince ...
