The Walk of Fame is now located just inside the park on the Demonbreun Street side, across from the Country Music Hall of Fame. Lynn and White are now the 62nd and 63rd artists honored with a star. 'What can I say, I want to thank you all very much for this star,' Lynn told the crowd. Lynn is a country music icon and was honored to receive her star. White and Lynn inducted each other into the Walk of Fame. As it happens, she left the spotlight at a time that was not kind to country legends like herself, as they were exiled from country radio and left with a fraction of their audience. We're so honored to be here every day, and we know there's only one town in the world where we could have done this and that's Nashville, Tennessee,' White said. Loretta Lynn retired from the music business in the 90s, returning to her home in Nashville to take care of her husband, Oliver Lynn, as he was dying.

'For example, what went down with Third Man Records here in this city, and accepted it so well, nurtured it, and helped make something come alive.

White, who moved to Nashville from Detroit to open his Third Man Records, said Nashville has welcomed him with open arms. 'We think it tells the story in a way none of us could tell it, about Nashville,' said Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation President Butch Spyridon.Īfter the park was reopened, the city bestowed the honor upon Lynn and White of adding their stars to the long list of musical greats who are part of the Walk of Fame. They are bigger and more durable than the stars on the former Walk of Fame. The Walk of Fame was relocated within the park, and new stars were designed for the attraction. It's right next to the convention center, the Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena and shortly next to the Bridgestone North American and South American headquarters,' Dean said. 'It's right in the middle of a lot of different things. The Mayor said it is a crucial piece of green space in downtown Nashville. Thursday, Mayor Karl Dean joined Lynn and White to cut the ribbon and officially reopen the park. The park has been closed for the last eight months as crews renovated the green space across from the County Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Loretta Lynn and Jack White were also honored with stars in the park. Two musical powerhouses helped open Nashville's newly renovated Walk of Fame Park.
