Mrs. Steven Rudy- Mark McGuinn (Whatever happen to this guy?) He had two more top 30 singles after with "That's A Plan" (#25), and "She Doesn't Dance" (#29). Then his label VFR closed in 2002. He made another album in 2005 called One Man's Crazy off Blue Flamingo Records. It featured the title track and his 2006 single "Deep" which was fantastic. He also co-write Lonestar's 2002 single "Unusually Unusual".

Sara Evans - Saints & Angels. Most recent Top 20 hit that I have no recollection of ever hearing on radio. I don't get how there were Top 20 hits as late as 2000-2002 slipping through the cracks for me ("Rose Bouquet" is another one — sweet crap, how did I miss that one?!?) since by then, I was a very consistent radio listener. And yet I was scooping up the occasional song that hit much lower. Heck, I remember Daisy Dern's "Gettin' Back to You" and Marshall Dyllon's "Live It Up" more than I remember "Saints & Angels".

Okay, so my nephew's last day in town was yesterday as he's moving to Syracuse for the time being and I had to pick him up from his last day of work. When I was driving back to the house so he could pack his stuff, "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews came on Y2Kountry. My nephew said "Wow, I haven't heard this in forever; this song was my childhood and one of the first songs that made me appreciate country music".
So I immediately went looking for this thread this morning. :)

Country music has always been a part of my life. My dad was a professional musician that worked with quite a few artists from the 60's & 70's. When I was pretty young he gave up his dream & got a "real job" & quit the road. But even after that , some of my earliest memories are our house being filled with musicians and our living room turned into a makeshift studio. And dad & the band playing til all hours of the night. I don't remember first hearing most of my favorites like George , Merle , or Waylon. They were just always there. Some of my earliest favorite songs were "Heavens Just A Sin Away" by the Kendalls, Coward Of The County" by Kenny Rogers & "Six Days On The Road" by Dave Dudley. But what really hooked me was when one of my older brothers moved out and left behind his collection of vinyl 45's. Among all those rock records , I found a scratchy version of "Delta Dawn" by Tanya Tucker. I played that record til the grooves turned white. I was hooked by that voice & that great story & it started my voracious appetite to collect every thing Tucker recorded. From there , I branched out to Alabama , John Anderson , Hank Jr...and George & Merle & Vern etc. etc. I still have that original 45. And once nearly murdered my nephew when I caught him in my room spinning the record really fast with his finger to speed up the song.

For me Shania Twain she was the one who got me into country music. Fun Fact I'm doing a book report biography on her tomorrow.

I believe I told this before somewhere.
My songs are pretty much the most hated ones on Pulse and in general: Diamond Rio: "Beatiful Mess"; Lee Ann Womack: "I Hope You Dance"; Lonestar: "Amazed"; Rascal Flatts: "What Hurts The Most"
Was totally into Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw around the turn of the century; my love for them has diminished consistently. The women in country came and went at that time, also; and the three artists I cherish the most from that era are Lee Ann Womack, Martina McBride and Sara Evans. Obviously, my music taste has changed dramatically now :) (to the better I hope; with some reservations! ). ;)

"From This Moment On" - Shania Twain "You're Still the One" - Shania Twain "The Dance" - Garth Brooks "If Tomorrow Never Comes" - Garth Brooks "Fancy" - Reba "Why Haven't I Heard From You" - Reba "Independence Day" - Martina McBride "Broken Wing" - Martina McBride
I remember being introduced to country in the mid 90s as a child, these were the songs I remember vividly as some of my favorites. I can't remember a specific song that truly made me fan, but these are my favorite songs and artists from the 90s... that's about far as I can narrow it down.
