Recordings by Dolly Parton, Brenda Lee, Jackson Browne, Jeannie C. Riley & More Added to 2019 Grammy Hall of Fame

The Recording Academy announced its list of 25 singles/albums that have been added to the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The 2019 inductees include a number of country-centric recordings, including Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors,” Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” Jeannie C. Riley’s “Harper Valley P.T.A.” and Jackson Browne’s 1972 self-titled album.
