Country Music Hall Of Fame And Museum’s Patty Loveless Exhibit Nearing Its Close
Visitors to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will be able to see the “Patty Loveless: No Trouble with the Truth” exhibit until Sunday, Nov. 10 before its closing.
The exhibit, which opened last June, traces Loveless’ story from a musical prodigy to a Grammy-winning country star who carries forward the sounds of her Appalachian roots. Loveless achieved 31 top 20 hits by 2003, including five No. 1 hits. Her foray into bluegrass on her acclaimed 2001 album, Mountain Soul, featured the enduring song “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive.”
In recent years, Loveless took a hiatus but occasionally recorded with other artists, including Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, John Prine, Bob Seger and Chris Young. In 2022, Chris Stapleton, a fellow East Kentuckian, recruited Loveless for a benefit concert for Kentucky flood victims. Their performance of “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” led to the duo performing the song at the 2022 CMA Awards.
Loveless has won five CMA awards, two Academy of Country Music awards and two Grammys. She became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1988, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October 2023.
