About this episode

Bobby discusses the significant events and artists in country music during 1991, highlighting both successes and tragedies.

Bobby continues the ’90s country music countdown with 1991  a year where Brooks & Dunn exploded with Brand New Man , Trisha Yearwood broke through with “She’s in Love with the Boy,” and Garth Brooks started rewriting the record books. But the year also had some heavy chapters, from The Judds’ farewell tour to the tragic loss of Dottie West and the plane crash that changed Reba’s life. Bobby also revisits Vince Gill joining the Opry, Tracy Lawrence surviving a shooting before his debut album, and the first number ones that helped launch several major careers. Plus, he takes a few detours into 1991 outside of country music  from Nirvana and Magic Johnson to the World Wide Web, Game Boy, and the pop culture moments that made the year feel unforgettable.
