I never could get into Sawyer Brown… they never bothered me, but they never made me want to go out and buy an album either.

From what I’ve heard from SB, Cafe on the Corner is my favorite album of theirs too.

I pretty much echo what everyone else here has said about Sawyer Brown, and J.R., I’m totally with you on 1990′s country.

Once again, these are all great songs. “All These Years” is my number one favorite here, while “The Race Is On” and “Some Girls Do” are old favorites that I’ll never get tired of. I’d also like to add “This Night Won’t Last Forever,” “Treat Her Right,” “‘Round Here,” and “I Don’t Believe In Goodbye” to the list.

My favorite albums are Cafe On The Corner and This Thing Called Wantin’ And Havin’ It All.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with Sawyer Brown here. I didn’t mind “They Don’t Understand” but by the time that and “Mission Temple Fireworks Stand” were released the group had been passed over by country music.

“This Night Won’t Last Forever” and “This Thing Called Wantin’ And Havin’ It All” are still favorites. “Treat Her Right” was a good ballad too (though it has aged a bit).

‘This Night Won’t Last Forever’ is my favorite track by Sawyer Brown, but I like all the above too. Sawyer Brown used to get a lot of recurrent airplay but lately they seem to be moving toward obscurity and I think that’s a shame. Sawyer Brown and Diamond Rio – whose Starter Kit I am going to read next – are two of my favorite country acts, and both are part of the reason I became a fan of the genre.

I also am loving this 90s country coverage. The 1990s are golden to me for country music – even acts that didn’t become superstars (like these guys and so many others) all released stellar music. It seems like everybody was back then, but that’s probably mostly nostalgia on my part …

I really love the fact that you included “Another Side.” It’s a terrific song and my favorite by Sawyer Brown.

Yes, their 90s material is far superior to the stuff from 80s. In fact, “The Race Is On” is the only single that I liked from that period. You hit all of my favorites, especially “All These Years”, “Cafe On the Corner”, “Hard To Say” and “Outskirts of Town” which might top my list. I also enjoyed “Round Here” and their remake of Johnny Lee’s “Lookin’ For Love”. BTW, I’m eating up 90s month on CU. Great idea!

Some of my favorites not mentioned:
One Less Pony,
Like a John Deere….if hearts were built like John Deere tractors there’d be happy ever afters….

I also really liked Mission Temple Fireworks Stand, from their 2005 album of the same name.

I’d add “This missin you heart of mine”, “heart Don’t fall now”, and “This Night wont last Forever”
