I have been listening to music by John Stewart since I was six years old, when he joined the Kingston Trio. I'm 61 now and still listen to it. His lyrics and his voice reach into my heart. He deserves this honor for his timeless songwriting.
John Stewart is a superb songwriter that for years has been undervalued. Just listen to Bolinas or Armstrong and of course he wrote the all time classic Daydream Believer
Is not John's list long and impressive enough? Now listen ... I mean REALLY listen to "The Pirates of Stone County Road". This magical time machine alone is all the justification required. It is time to acknowledge his gift he shared with so many.
Underrated, brilliant songwriter. I would agree that John single-handedly invented the "Americana" genre with songs like "Mother Country," "Missouri Birds," "Cody." etc., etc. The list of great songs goes on and on.
Fond memories of seeing John and crew perform many times here in the Phoenix area and attending a songwriting workshop as part of his regular Kingston Trio band camps. A great American singer-songwriter, a true original, truly deserving of induction in the Song Writer Hall of Fame!
This needs to happen.
John could very well have been the first to sing and write "Americana". His name should stand along side of the very best.

Truly one of America's all-time music treasures! I still vividly remember writing a rave review for my high school newspaper ( the mid=1970's) about The Phoenix Concerts album. It still remains one of my favorites to this day 2/20/2017!!!
