Bluegrass legend Mac Wiseman, a 2014 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame, was born in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where he began singing on the radio as a teenager. After stints as a sideman with Molly O'Day, Flatt & Scruggs, and Bill Monroe, he secured a contract with Dot Records in Nashville and scored hit after hit in the early '50s. When rock 'n' roll came along, Wiseman began moonlighting as a producer in California, but in a career of remarkable longevity, he continued to record and perform into the '10s.
