Whether you are listening to the best country love songs (that’ll have you crying in your beer), the most patriotic country songs of all time (that’ll have you crying to the fireworks show), classic summer country songs that never get old (that'll have you crying anywhere) you're sure to connect with the story-telling in these songs as they take you back in time to the era of Beanie Babies, Tamagotchis, Friends, and Sex and the City. Later in the '90s, we saw lots of traditional country music-pop cross-over with artists like Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain, and the Dixie Chicks coming on to the scene and bringing a boom in country music popularity with them. George Strait, Lee Ann Womack, and Toby Keith kept plenty of traditional tunes coming our way. It was quite the big decade for country music too. And if you were listening to country music in the '90s, hits by Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Travis Tritt, Martina McBride, and Brooks & Dunn (and so many more!) sure will do just that. There's a certain power that music has that to take you back to a high school dance or summer camp or wherever your memory places a particular song, along with all the lyrics you forgot you even knew. ![]()
