More than 25 years after Alan Jackson released his debut album, “Here in the Real World,” all he has to do to hype up fans is casually step up to the microphone. He did that and so much more Friday night.
Alan Jackson, Jerry “Guitar Man” Reed and “The Gambler” writer Don Schlitz are 2017’s class of inductees into The Country Music Hall of Fame. The Country Music Association made the announcement Wednesday morning during an event at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The men will raise the number of those inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame to 133.
