Missing From The Country Music Hall of Fame (Updated 2022 Inductees)

The 2022 Country Hall inductees were announced today: Keith Whitley (Modern Era), Jerry Lee Lewis (Veterans Era),  Joe Galante (Non-Performer).

The process to get into the Country Hall is explained here (as of 2012).  In short: One act is chosen from 3 categories every year: Veterans Era (45 years after achieving "national prominence").  Modern Era (20 years after achieving "national prominence").   Non-Performer, Songwriter and Recording/Touring Musician categories rotate every 3 years. Also: candidates are not eligible for one year after they pass away.
