During a year with a lot of turmoil in her personal life, Miranda Lambert just received word that one of her greatest moments is now just around the corner.
Lambert will join Steve Cropper, E.W. “Bud” Wendell and the legendary Johnny Cash in being honored with a star during an induction ceremony on Oct. 6 in the Walk of Fame Park in Nashville, Tennessee.
“Thank you so much to the City of Nashville and Music City Walk of Fame for this honor and privilege,” Lambert said in a recent press release. “I am proud to join a heritage of other female inductees, such as Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris and Martina McBride. This is a milestone moment that I will cherish forever. I want to congratulate my fellow inductees, Steve Cropper, E.W. ‘Bud’ Wendell and the legendary Johnny Cash – just saying his name alongside mine, takes my breath away.”
“These inductees to the Music City Walk of Fame represent the best of Nashville’s music industry, from the gritty and soulful guitar work of Steve Cropper to Miranda Lambert’s powerful singing and songwriting and Bud Wendell’s visionary leadership of the Grand Ole Opry and Gaylord Entertainment,” added Nashville Mayor Karl Dean in the same press release.
“And of course Johnny Cash was and still is nothing short of an icon, one of the very finest artists ever to grace our city’s studios and stages. The city of Nashville is proud and honored to be able to recognize each of them for their many accomplishments.”
