“Don Everly with his brother Phil were a major force in ‘Teenage American Rock and Roll.’ Their sound was a mighty one! Rock, Pop, Country, and Rockabilly artists were singing their songs. I’m not sure that we will ever see another brother duet have that kind of influence on the music industry. Don will be missed, but the Everly Brothers’ sound will live on.” -- Ricky Skaggs Photo credit: CMA

“I was saddened to hear of Tom T. Hall’s passing. I loved him. He was a great Kentuckian with a heart of gold. He was a kind and gentle man. Lots of people come to Nashville to write songs, but Tom T. came to tell stories. These stories are everyone’s story, they are America’s story. Now he can truly say, ‘me and Jesus have our own thing going.’” — Ricky Skaggs
