Year: 1995

This might be the only song on the countdown that features a washboard.

Formerly of the Kentucky Headhunters (one eventually went back), they were only active from 1992-1995. They weren’t terribly popular, but I dug most of their songs.

Year: 1993

Maybe my favorite country song. You better enjoy it, too, since it took me a while to find it. Garth’s lawyers have done a good job at scrubbing any evidence he exists off of YouTube.

I remember Garth once said he doesn’t allow his songs to be sold individually. Not because of money, but because he felt people would enjoy his music better if they listened to the album as a whole. His arrogance has always grossed me out, but hey, in the early 90s he released a single that was pro-gay, pro freedom-of-religion, pro-integration. So…he’s above the herd, anyway.

And women too.

Year: 1993

I legit thought the lead singer’s real name was Boy Howdy for the longest time.

Year: 1992

One of the best voices in country music. Unfortunately, I don’t like most of her songs. But she had a hot steak from 1991 to 1993. It was hard to pick between this, “Drive South,” “Outbound Plane,” and “Someday Soon.”
