Patty Loveless celebrated the opening of her Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit, “Patty Loveless: No Trouble with the Truth,” last night (Aug. 22) at a special event hosted by the museum.

The new exhibit explores the life and career of the Country Music Hall of Fame member-elect, tracing her journey from her Appalachian roots to becoming a Grammy-winning country star. The exhibit will be open to the public today (Aug. 23) through October 2024, and is included with museum admission. It features stage wear, tour memorabilia, manuscripts, set lists, instruments, photos, videos, posters and more.

Loveless achieved 31 top 20 hits by 2003, including five No. 1s. Her acclaimed 2001 bluegrass-influenced album, Mountain Soul, featured the enduring song “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive.” As Loveless became a veteran artist, she continued to record songs by writers she favored, including tracks by Tony Arata, Matraca Berg, Paul Kennerley, Jim Lauderdale, Gary Nicholson and an unknown-at-the-time Chris Stapleton.

Loveless has won five CMA Awards, two ACM Awards and two Grammys. She became a member of the Grand Ole Opry on June 11, 1988, and will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October of this year.
