There are 14 country stars who are not receiving the level of respect they deserve. Initially, it seemed like Dwight Yoakam was the most disrespected singer in country music, but we have now discovered another legendary country act with an impressive resume.
Yoakam has not performed well at the CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards, with a batting average of only .081 (3-37). However, despite this low average, he has managed to win three awards. In comparison, the Bellamy Brothers have not had the same level of success.
This pair has an astonishing record of 0-29 at the three major shows. No other country duo has received more nominations in the duo category, yet they have never won. David and Howard Bellamy have been greatly underestimated to the extent that the Taste of Country team did not even include them in their list of deserving artists not in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It appeared to be very obvious that they would have arrived by now.
If you find yourself feeling just as upset as we did about this type of disrespect, we suggest using a stress ball, a CBD gummy (if it is legal in your area), or any other method you typically use to stay calm. Below, you will find a list of 14 artists who are considered legacy acts and deserve more respect.
We will address the issue of contemporary country singers being disrespected at a later time.
Included in this list are two extremely talented female musicians who have achieved legendary status in their solo careers. Additionally, there are three well-known groups that have become iconic in the music industry. It may be surprising to some, but Billy Ray Cyrus also deserves a spot on this list, despite the potential controversy it may cause. The evidence clearly supports this inclusion, and it is time to acknowledge and appreciate him and the 13 other individuals on this list.
