With the 2022 inductees scheduled to be announced on Tuesday, we're proud to introduce a brand new website, Future Country Legends, dedicated to providing insight into the Country Music Hall of Fame induction process and highlighting the next generation of legends.

There are a number of similarities between the current state of the conversation around the Country Music Hall of Fame and how people discussed the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 when Future Rock Legends was founded:

1. No comprehensive listing of eligibility dates for artists.
2. Incomplete information publicly available about those already inducted into the Hall of Fame, including induction categories.
3. A secretive and misunderstood selection process.
4. A lack of a dedicated forum to discuss Hall of Famers and future candidates.
5. Questions surrounding the purity of genre and what should or shouldn't be included.
6. An under-the-radar private induction ceremony.

All of those elements about Rock & Roll Hall of Fame have changed significantly in 16 years with the rise of social media and a resources like Future Rock Legends which has documented every high and low of the institution.

Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame keeps a relatively low profile relative to its peers, rarely getting embroiled in controversy, but also standing apart from the national consciousness. Future Country Legends aims to shine a light on the Hall of Fame and dig deeper into who gets inducted and why others don't.

We're looking forward to starting this journey, not knowing exactly where it will lead us. We hope you enjoy the site, and if you do, please spread the word to other like-minded fans.
