On Saturday, the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum hosted a sold-out performance and conversation with Patty Loveless in support of its newest exhibition Patty Loveless: No Trouble with the Truth. During the program, Loveless reflected on her career, including first coming to Nashville at age 14, subsequently touring with the Wilburn Brothers and her decades-long award-winning career. She performed several songs, including “Blame It On Your Heart,” “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am” and “Don’t Toss Us Away.”

The program, which was hosted by the museum’s Senior Writer-Editor Michael McCall, was filmed and will premiere on Thursday, Oct. 19, as part of the museum’s Live at the Hall digital programs series — available to stream on the museum’s website.

Patty Loveless: No Trouble with the Truth explores the life and career of the Country Music Hall of Fame member-elect — tracing her story, from a musical prodigy to a Grammy award-winning country music star who carries forward the sounds of her Appalachian roots. The exhibit, which will be open through October 2024, is included with museum admission and features stage wear, tour memorabilia, manuscripts, instruments, photographs, videos and more. The official exhibit playlist is now available here.

Loveless achieved thirty-one Top Twenty hits by 2003, including five #1s. Her foray into bluegrass on her acclaimed 2001 album, Mountain Soul, featured the enduring song “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive.” Throughout her career, Loveless has taken chances recording works by new and emerging writers, including songs by Matraca Berg, Kostas, Jim Lauderdale, Gary Nicholson, Gretchen Peters, Karen Staley, and, in 2003, a young, largely unknown Chris Stapleton.

Loveless has won five Country Music Association awards, two Academy of Country Music awards and two Grammys. She became a member of the Grand Ole Opry on June 11, 1988, and will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October of this year.
