There are 14 country stars who are not getting the recognition they deserve. Initially, it seemed like Dwight Yoakam was the most disrespected singer in country music. However, we recently discovered another legendary country artist whose accomplishments and talent have also gone unnoticed.
Yoakam has a very low batting average of .081 (3 hits out of 37 attempts) when it comes to the CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards. However, despite this, he has managed to win three times. The Bellamy Brothers would wish for the same level of luck!
David and Howard Bellamy, a country duo, have an astonishing record of 0-29 at the three main shows. They have received the most nominations in the duo category, but have never won. Their lack of recognition is evident as they were not even considered by the Taste of Country team when compiling a list of deserving artists not in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It appeared to be obvious that they would have arrived by now.
It's possible for you to feel just as upset as we did about this type of disrespect. We suggest using a stress ball, a CBD gummy (if it's legal), or any other method you use to stay calm while scrolling. Below, you'll find a list of 14 artists, specifically legacy acts, who deserve more respect.
We will set aside the discussion of contemporary country singers who are not given due respect for another occasion.
Included in this list are two highly esteemed female solo artists and three well-known music groups. There is also a controversial inclusion of Billy Ray Cyrus, despite the fact that the evidence supports his presence on the list. It is about time that he and his 13 companions receive the recognition they deserve.
