Cast Your Vote For the Country Music Hall of Fame

2006 Fans, who would you like to see inducted this year into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006?

2006 Fans Hall of Fame Vote

The CMA has announced that it will annouce their 2006 award nominees on August 30 over Good Morning America on the ABC Television Network. Later that morning in Nashville, they will also announce the 2006 class of inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame. For the next couple of weeks, we thought we would give the fans a chance to voice their opinions who should be elected. Last time we tried this, we had nearly 2,000 votes cast. We'll let you know how the votes are going each evening.

As of Wednesday evening, August 23, 2006, fans continue casting their votes and here is the list of leaders in the voting:

01. Bobby Bare
02. Dave Dudley
03. Cowboy Copas
04. Hawkshaw Hawkins
05. Jimmy Wakely
06. Rex Allen
07. Jean Shepard
08. Ferlin Husky
09. Lulu Belle and Scotty
10. Red Sovine

Fans are casting their votes for quite an array of artists again this year.
