The Kicks Wake Up Krew

New Artist Zach Top Is On Dub’s Playlist This Week

Author Dub

Zach Top is fairly new on the country music scene. But Zach has arrived and brought a bunch of traditional country music with him. The stuff he is releasing gives me big 90s country vibes and I love it. We started playing Zach’s debut single “Sounds Like The Radio” a few months back, and it had an awesome throwback sound. Well this new one he released, the one I’m featuring this week, sounds like it came straight out of 1994!

More About Zach

He grew up on a ranch in Washington, and loves traditional country music. Zach formed a bluegrass band with his siblings when he was seven. The band was called “Top String”, I see what they did there. He played in a lot of bluegrass bands while he was in his teens and early 20s. Zach signed a publishing deal in Nashville 3 years ago in 2021 and he’s performed on The Grand Ole Opry on multiple occasions.

Zach makes you feel like you’re listening to George Strait, Randy Travis and Keith Whitley all rolled into one. Country music is very diverse right now, and I like it. There is room for everyone in country music. If you’re releasing good music, then I say more power to ya! I love checking out all of the new music. Some of it is really good, and some of it I’d say isn’t really my style, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Nostalgia has made us long for the 90s again. It was a simpler time, and so 90s style, 90s TV and movies and 90s music is making a big comeback. It’s really cool to see new, young artists, like Zach bringing such old school vibes with their music. I hope y’all love this song as much as I do.

Speaking of old school 90s vibes, here are some of my favorite 90s country videos.

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!
