There are 14 country stars who are not given the recognition they deserve. While Dwight Yoakam seemed to be the most disrespected singer in country music, we recently discovered another legendary country act with an impressive resume.
Yoakam has not been very successful at the CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards, with a batting average of only .081 (3 out of 37). However, despite this low average, he has managed to win three times. The Bellamy Brothers, on the other hand, have not been as fortunate
This pair has an astonishing record of 0-29 at the three most important shows in the country music industry. No other duo has received as many nominations in the duo category, yet they have never managed to win. David and Howard Bellamy are so consistently ignored that the Taste of Country team didn't even think of including them in their list of deserving artists not in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It is possible for you to feel the same level of frustration as we did regarding this type of disrespect. We suggest using a stress-relieving tool like a squeeze ball or a CBD gummy (if it is legal for you) or anything else that helps you stay calm. Below, you will find a list of 14 artists. This particular list focuses on legacy acts that we believe deserve more respect.
We will discuss disregarded modern country singers at a later time.
Included in this list are two highly acclaimed female singers and three well-known music groups. Billy Ray Cyrus is also mentioned, which might stir up some disagreement. Nevertheless, the evidence strongly supports the inclusion of him and his 13 companions, indicating that they deserve a greater level of admiration.
