14 Country Stars Who Deserve More Respect: From Dwight Yoakam to the Bellamy Brothers

  • by

There are 14 country music artists who are not receiving the respect they deserve. Despite thinking that Dwight Yoakam is the most disrespected singer in the genre, we have now discovered another legendary country act whose accomplishments have been overlooked.

Yoakam's batting average at the CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards is only .081, with a record of 3 hits out of 37 attempts. However, despite this low average, he has managed to win three times. The Bellamy Brothers would be incredibly fortunate to have the same success.

David and Howard Bellamy, a country music duo, have had an astonishing record of 0-29 at the three major shows. Despite receiving the highest number of nominations in the duo category, they 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 who are not in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It appeared to be an obvious expectation that they would have arrived by now.

It is understandable if you feel equally frustrated about this type of disrespect. We suggest finding a way to relax, such as using a stress ball, consuming a CBD gummy (if it is legal), or any other method you employ to stay calm. The following list comprises 14 artists, specifically those who have made a significant impact over time, and we believe they deserve more recognition and respect.

We'll set aside the topic of contemporary country singers who have not received the respect they deserve for a future discussion.

This list includes two incredibly talented female solo artists and three well-known groups. Billy Ray Cyrus is also included, which may generate some disagreement. Nevertheless, the facts speak for themselves – it is time to acknowledge and appreciate him and his 13 colleagues a little more.
