Amy Austin — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:27:16 +0000

One of the best country artists from the '90's is arguably, Doug Stone. When Doug Stone first impacted radio back in 1990 with his debut single, “Better Off in a Pine Box,” listeners were introduced to one of the most distinctive traditional voices ever to hit country airwaves! I was one of those jocks who knew this guy had something special.

Amy Austin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:00:13 +0000

John Michael Montgomery is one of my favorite country artists from the '90s! I remember when "I Swear" came out in 1993, it instantly became the wedding song to have sung at your wedding. (I can remember two weddings at least that I attended that year that had "I Swear" sung by some mediocre wanna-be John Micheal Montgomery!)
