The Nashville, Tennessee, area has been warmer and feels more like spring in the last week or so, with temperatures in the 80s yesterday (4/19). A few weeks ago, Nashville weather was still pretty cold for this time of year, with temperatures in the evening in the 40s.

McGraw recently announced that he just started a new music, movie, and TV production company called Down Home. Tim posted a video clip about his new company on Instagram.
He captioned the video clip, "It's been hard to keep this one a secret for so long! Storytelling has always been one of my biggest passions, and I'm ready to take that same passion and apply it to something even bigger. I can't reveal too much just yet, but I can promise you that this company is going to be something special. We're going to be shaking things up, breaking new ground, and bringing people together in a whole new way. And after years of work behind the scenes, I am beyond thrilled to officially announce the launch of Down Home, a new media production company with @skydance, @shareability, and @emco615."
He added, "Follow @downhome to be the first to hear about our upcoming TV and film projects, new content initiatives for fans, artists, and brands, and the growth of our Nashville studios. Can't wait to unravel the incredible, untold stories with such a talented team!"

Tomorrow (5/17), Brooks and Dunn will announce who will be the next three inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and every year the debate goes on as to who should get country music's ultimate honor, which was just bestowed on The Judds earlier this month (5/1).
Garth is in as-is Reba, Dolly, George Strait. But some country music artists have been passed over for many years. We look at eight artists who should make it to the Hall of Fame.
Crystal Gayle

With 13 number one songs under her belt and many more that made the Top five on the country charts, Crystal should be a shoo-in for the honor, and this could very well be her year.
John Denver
Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty ImagesJohn Denver's songs in the 1970s were as country as could be. Yes, he was considered a pop star by many -- in 1975, when Charlie Rich presented CMA's Entertainer of the Year, he famously lit the card with Denver's name on fire in front of the audience when he announced that Denver was the winner. But listen to Denver's songs for yourself; there is no doubt he was country. The CMA even used his song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" in 2016 with all of the country music superstars, including Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Bryan, and many more singing to mark the CMA's 50th year.
Trisha Yearwood

Her husband Garth Brooks is already in the Hall of Fame, and with the impact she made in country music starting in the early 1990s, she is more than likely going to get in soon.
Clint Black
Rick Diamond/Getty ImagesMaking his country music debut in 1989, the same year as Garth Brooks, his success frustrated Brooks a bit as Black started scoring songs on the country charts at the time before Garth began to take off. His first single, "Better Man," became his first number one, and he charted another chart-topper right after with his second single, "Killin Time." He scored 12 number one songs in his career. He won many awards, including his first from the CMA in 1989 when he won the Horizon award.
Dwight Yoakam
Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesAlthough in the last ten years Dwight Yoakam has been known more for his movie acting, in the late 1980s, he was country music's golden boy with a string of chart-toppers "Honky Tonk Man" and the duet with Buck Owens "Streets Of Bakersfield." Dwight has won two Grammys and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.
Tim McGraw
Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesWhile Tim McGraw has stayed active in country music, charting songs and touring since he first splashed onto the scene in the mid-1990s, some of his contemporaries, like Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, are already members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, so it would make sense it McGraw himself was honored this year. He has 44 number one singles, that alone should get him a seat at the table. Tim has three Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association (CMA) awards, 10 American Music Awards, and many more honors.
Shania Twain
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesShania changed country music with her tremendous success, which started with her 1995 album "The Woman In Me." She has won five Grammy Awards and multiple honors in country music from the CMA and the ACM. She sold over 50 million records and really expanded country music bringing in many more fans with her pop style of country music.
