“Thank God and the Hall of Fame. The Stanley Brothers were the first group to follow Bill Monroe’s new style of music back in 1945. Ralph and Carter influenced millions of people around the world with their unique sound of heartfelt mountain music and I’m just one of them. I’m so grateful they are getting this well-deserved award. Congratulations also to my friends Paul Overstreet and Tim McGraw. Much deserved as well.” –Ricky Skaggs
