Fifteen award-winning songwriters, including Flatt & Scruggs, Hank Williams

Monday for induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
"This
is an amazing group of nominees, and every one of them is extremely worthy of
induction," said Roger Murrah, Chairman of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame
Foundation and himself a 2005 inductee.
The slate of nominees, divided into
Songwriter and Songwriter/Artist categories, recognizes songwriters whose first
significant works achieved commercial success and/or artistic recognition at least
20 years ago and who have "positively impacted and been closely associated with
the Nashville music community and deemed to be outstanding and significant." Two
from the Songwriter category and one from the Songwriter/Artist category will
be honored with induction on October 14.
The 10 nominees in the Songwriter
category are: Paul Craft ("Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life" by Moe Bandy), Bob
DiPiero ("American Made" by the Oak Ridge Boys), Kye Fleming ("I Was
Country When Country Wasn't Cool" by Barbara Mandrell), Larry Henley ("The Wind
Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler), Mac McAnally ("Old Flame" by Alabama), Earl
"Peanutt" Montgomery ("We're Gonna Hold On" by George Jones and Tammy Wynette),
Bob Morrison ("You Decorated My Life" by Kenny Rogers), Thom Schuyler ("16th Avenue"
by Lacy J. Dalton), L.E. White ("After the Fire is Gone" by Conway Twitty and
Loretta Lynn) and Lawton Williams ("Fraulein" by Bobby Helms).
The five nominees
in the Songwriter/Artist category are: J.J. Cale ("Cocaine" by Eric Clapton),
Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs ("Don't Get Above Your Raisin'"), Amy Grant ("Baby
Baby"), Tony Joe White ("Rainy Night in Georgia") and Hank Williams, Jr. ("All
My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight").
The group of nominees was recommended
to the board by the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Foundation (NaSHOF) Nominating
Committee, which is comprised of Hall of Fame members and Music Row historians.
Votes are cast by Hall of Fame members, Professional Songwriter members of the
Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), and the boards of the
NaSHOF and NSAI.
Established in 1970, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame
boasts 156 members, including songwriting luminaries such as Johnny Cash, Rodney
Crowell, Bob Dylan, Don & Phil Everly, Vince Gill, Harlan Howard, Roger Miller,
Bill Monroe, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Carl Perkins, Jimmie Rodgers, Cindy Walker,
Jimmy Webb and Hank Williams, Sr.
