The Kicks Wake Up Krew

A Forgotten Hit From Gary Allan Is On Dub’s Playlist This Week

Author Dub

I’ve always loved Gary Allan and his music. In fact, yesterday was his birthday, so it seems fitting that he’s featured on Dub’s Playlist today. Gary has had a ton of hits over the years, but I bet you forgot about this one. I say that because, even as a pretty big fan, I forgot about this one.

Gary Allan In The CSRA

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to see Gary perform liver several times. The first time was back in 2004 at Hot Southern Night. Y’all remember that show? It always lived up to its name. Hot Southern Night was a benefit for the Augusta Chapter of The American Red Cross, and it was held at Lake Olmstead Stadium.

In 2004, Gary performed with The Marshall Tucker Band and they all killed it. I also saw Gary open for Kenny Chesney in 2008. Then there was his performance at the 2011 Kicks99 Guitar Pull, and the last time I saw him was in 2019 at The Bell Auditorium. Every time I’ve ever seen him perform, he’s put on such a good show.

Also one of my all time favorite albums is “Smoke Rings In The Dark” that Gary released back in 1999. Every song on that album is good, and its one of the few albums that I can listen to start to finish and never get tired of. If you’ve never heard “Smoke Rings In The Dark”, after you finish reading this and listening to the song I’ve featured this week, go check it out!

The song I’m featuring this week came out back in 1998 and was a Top Ten hit for Gary.

This song came out in ’98. Of course y’all know I love 90s country, and here are some more of my favorite songs.

90s Country Music Videos - Dub's Top Five

I’m a huge 90s country fan, and these are my favorite 90s Country Music Videos. Growing up here in the CSRA, I would listen to Kicks99 when I was riding in the car with my mom. I loved listening to all of the songs, and I loved watching all of the music videos. I would sit for hours watching CMT and GAC to see all of my favorite music videos. In the 90s music videos just hit you different.

Sure some of them were corny, but they were fun. We search them out on YouTube now for that blast of nostalgia. Many times I’ve fallen down a 90s Country rabbit hole. I’ll watch one video and then another, and then another, next thing I know, it’s 2 hours later.

If you need to add some songs to your 90s country playlist, check out this list.

This list is in no particular order, but these are my favorite 90s Country Music Videos.

  • Sammy Kershaw "Queen Of My Double Wide Trailer"

    I love this song, and I love the video even more! When you think of 90s country stereotype’s, this video is full of them, and I love them all!

  • Tracy Byrd "Watermelon Crawl"

    “Watermelon Crawl” is an essential 90s song. One thing I love about 90s country videos is that the video follows the song. Whatever is being talked about in the song, is being lived in the video! It’s all a part of the story.

  • Reba McEntire "Fancy"

    This is another example of an essential 90s country song. It’s also another example of how the video follows the song. Finally it’s an example of how great of an actress Reba is.

  • Alan Jackson "I Don't Even Know Your Name"

    I said it before, 90s country music videos might have been corny at times, but they were fun! This is a prime example of that. It doesn’t get anymore 90s than Jeff Foxworthy and Alan Jackson in the same video.

  • Brooks And Dunn "Hard Workin' Man"

    Rodeo, Vegas, Those awesome 90s country shirts, this video has it all! This video just embodies the spirit of 90s country, and I think I speak for all of us when I say, we love it!
