There are 14 country stars who should be given more respect. While Dwight Yoakam may have been considered the most disrespected singer in country music, we recently discovered another legendary country artist with an impressive resume.
Yoakam's batting average at the CMA, ACM, and Grammy Awards is only .081 (3-37), yet he has managed to secure three wins. The Bellamy Brothers would be fortunate to achieve the same level of success.
David and Howard Bellamy, a country music duo, have 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. The Bellamy brothers are often overlooked and have not been considered by the Taste of Country team when compiling a list of deserving artists not in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The following list includes 14 artists, specifically legacy acts, who we believe deserve more respect.
We will discuss overlooked modern country singers at a later time.
This list includes two exceptionally talented female soloists and three well-known groups. Billy Ray Cyrus is also included, despite the potential controversy surrounding him. Nevertheless, the evidence supports the notion that he, along with his 13 colleagues, deserve more respect.
