Three New Inductees Into Country Music Hall of Fame-- Part 2: Marty Stuart and Dean Dillon
Marty Stuart is a five-time Grammy winner who started his career as a sideman before going solo. He charted six Top Ten Country songs with :Hillbilly Rock," "Little Things" and "Tempted.
Dean Dillon is known for being the tunesmith behind George Strait dozens of hits, including "The Chair," "Oceanfront Property" and "Here for a Good Time.
With Linda Hargrove, he wrote the timeless classic "Tennessee Whiskey." This song was originally recorded by David Allan Coe who had a #77 hit with it. Then George Jones took it to #2. But, by far the biggest version of the song is the one done by Chris Stapleton who had a #1 on the Country chart and #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
When I'm at a bar, I like to play "Tennessee Whiskey" and follow it up with Darius Rucker's version of "Wagon Wheel." Those two songs go really well together.
