The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced its class of 2021: AmyGrant, TobyKeith, RhettAkins, Buddy Cannon & John Scott Sherrill
This year’s inductees bring the total number of songwriters in the Hall to 218. Though country songwriters predominate, the body includes “writers from all genres of music,” according to a NaSHOF mission statement. The Nashville Hall dates to 1970 – the same year the Songwriters Hall of Fame launched.
Four of the five inductees have received Grammy nominations for best country song: Akins in 2018 for co-writing Blake Shelton’s “I Lived It,” Cannon in 2007 for co-writing George Strait’s “Give It Away,” Keith in 2003 for co-writing his own “Beer for My Horses” , and Grant in 2011 for co-writing Vince Gill’s “Threaten Me With Heaven.” In addition, Grant was nominated in the overall song of the year category in 1991 for co-writing her own “Baby Baby,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Akins’ songwriter credits include his own “That Ain’t My Truck,” as well as “Honey Bee” and “It Goes Like This” . Akins, 51, is the father of red-hot country star Rhett. Sherrill’s hits include “Wild and Blue” , “The Church on Cumberland Road” and “How Long Gone” . Sherrill was born and raised in Chappaqua, N.Y., and in Uganda and Bolivia.
