There are 14 country stars who should be given more respect, and one of them is Dwight Yoakam. However, we recently discovered another iconic country artist who is also not getting the recognition they deserve.

The evidence clearly supports the inclusion of Cyrus and his 13 colleagues, indicating that they deserve a greater level of respect.
