Jelly sandals, JNCO jeans, Doc Martens, slap bracelets and scrunchies — those are just a few memorable trends of the 1990s. And while a lot of those fashion choices are best laid to rest, there are some country music hits from the decade that we never want to let go.

Everything that could possibly go wrong with this love story does, and the ways disaster is defeated are more than half the fun of this engaging work. Watch the Prenzie... Read More
