A particularly bleak period in the history of Country Music. Good luck in finding 100 good albums from this period (unless you also look at independent labels, in which case you may come up with a very good list indeed). Unfortunately, if #s 98 & 99 are any indication of things to come, you’ll have a tough go of it.

I’ll shadow your list when you are done. I will tell you that Tracy Lawrence’s ALIBIS and Randy Travis’ THIS IS ME will both be on my list, only somewhere in my top 50.
