Four of country music’s most prolific, highly regarded tunesmiths have been named the newest members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Rosanne Cash, Mark James, Even Stevens and Craig Wiseman will join the 196 current members enshrined in the Hall of Fame during the 45th anniversary gala set for Sunday, October 11th. The announcement was made at a special event Thursday morning, with songwriter Pat Alger, who also serves as chair of the organization’s board of directors, doing the honors.
Cash, whose self-penned Number One country hits include “Seven Year Ache” and “Hold On,” received the honor as this year’s songwriter/artist inductee.
