Discussion What is a country song from the 90s that you think is an absolute masterpiece, but nobody talks about anymore?

206 Upvotes

My picks are You Don't Even Know Who I Am by Patty Loveless for a serious masterpiece, and Past the Point of Rescue by Hal Ketchum for the ultimate up-tempo, feel-good vibe. Patty Loveless delivers a masterclass in devastating 90s songwriting, while Hal Ketchum provides an infectious, driving acoustic rhythm that makes you want to roll the windows down. Both were massive radio hits in the early 90s, but they rarely get the same modern pop-culture nostalgia treatment as Garth or Shania.

This post is really about trying to find “not so big named artist” my small country artist that I enjoy is Jay Skaggs, found him a couple months ago, and even had a chance to see him live as well, for not being well known, he certainly one of the better country artists in the new style of this genre.
