THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published Wednesday February 13th, 2008

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The newest members of the Country Hall of Fame are Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, the Statler Brothers and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman.

Their upcoming induction was announced Tuesday in Nashville.
Tammy Genovese of the Country Music Association says Harris is a revered song interpreter, while Hall is a renowned storyteller with his music.
She says the Statler Brothers are America's poets and Pop Stoneman was a patriarch of country music. They will be formally inducted later this year.

Surprising she was not inducted a long time ago! i have to admit that I don't know who Pop Stoneman is, though.

Through a good friend and fellow 'Lighthead' I just learned last week about Emmylou's album she did with Mark Knopfler "All The Roadrunning". It's fantastic and I'm absolutely hooked - the two together...heavenly, I love it.

Hi Claudia,
we have that CD. It's really good, I agree. We also saw the two in concert together last year or was it 2 years ago (?) and really enjoyed that.

Kerstin...I'm jealous...;-) I just ordered the 'Real Live Roadrunning' DVD, couldn't resist. I've had part of that concert ripped from a German TV station ( believe it or not...) but it had only 50 min. and I wanted it all...

You get German TV over here?
