The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum recently celebrated the upcoming induction of Country Music Hall of Fame Member Elect Ray Stevens with a special luncheon honoring him in the museum’s CMA Theater.

During the luncheon, Stevens shared this sentiment about his upcoming induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, “I tell you friends, it don’t get no better than this.”

In October of this year, Stevens, along with Jerry Bradley and Brooks & Dunn, will be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
