Country Music Hall of Fame Reveals 2024 inductees: Toby Keith, John Anderson and James Burton.
Louisiana native and guitarist Burton, who in the 1950s developed the “chicken pickin'” style of guitar playing, was announced as an inductee by hall members Brooks & Dunn. Burton soon joined Ricky Nelson’s backing band and went on to play on records by Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, the Everly Brothers, the Monkees and more. In 2005, Keith launched his own label, Show Dog Records, releasing songs including “Get Drunk and Be Somebody,” “American Ride,” “Red Solo Cup,” “Hope on the Rocks,” “Made In America,” “God Love Her” and “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” which he wrote after being inspired by Clint Eastwood, who later featured it in his 2018 film The Mule.
