It's about time. In this special July 4th episode, we finally tackle 90s icon Martina McBride, and arguably her signature song, 1994's "Independence Day".

By request, we take on a classic one-hit-wonder (in the U.S. anyway). It's Michelle Wright with 1992's "Take It Like a Man". Rarely has a song done more with a single note than this one does with the note G. But this cut is much more than a just G thing. How does this catchy number shift seamlessly between eye-rolling frustration and empowered asse…

In the first of a trilogy of feminine perspectives in the 90s, we tackle Shania Twain's lighthearted 1997 hit "Don't Be Stupid".

We follow one "Pure Country" hit with another: 1992's "I Cross My Heart".

And what about that key change??…

George Strait takes us back to his acting days, with 1993's "Heartland".

And what tensions might this song encapsulate between the journeys of "Dusty" and real-life George Strait?…

It's vintage Judds, with their 1987 classic hit "I Know Where I'm Going". This cut is a prime example of the Judds' signature acoustic-with-attitude shtick, but how does heavy harmonic ambiguity in this one leave us less sure of our destination that Wynonna and Naomi seem to be?

Our first encounter with Doug Stone taps into his rowdy side, with 1994's indignant, deliciously unhinged, "Addicted to a Dollar".

We examine the song that introduced Brooks & Dunn to an unsuspecting country music world in 1991: their debut single "Brand New Man".

We revisit mid-90s Girl Power as Reba cuts her hair and changes her tone, from victim to victor, in her 1996 hit "How Was I to Know". The first-chorus rug-pull is clever enough on its own, but how is this moment pivotal not just for this song, but for McEntire's entire corpus?

Whether our brains were being bodyslammed by WWF (WWE) or beat down by WCW, we loved every choreographed minute of the glammy, absurd high drama.

We dive into the waters of Alan Jackson's signature song, 1993's "Chattahoochee". It's Alan Jackson, so it's going to be earnest neotraditional honky-tonk, but how does the authentic nostalgia in this one take it from good, to great, to all-time classic? (And what exactly is a hootchie-cootchie?)

We take our first look at the late, great Toby Keith, and his 1993 hit (from the Long Names Department) "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action".

We explore the supremely earnest delivery of Alan Jackson, as exemplified in 1990's "Wanted". Honky-tonk meets gospel in this quintessentially neotraditionalist gem, but how can Jackson's humble "yes ma'am"s and "no ma'am"s authentically carry the emotional weight that this song needs them to?

We take another look at the Haggard-esque neo-traditional grit of early Clint Black, with his 1992 hit, "We Tell Ourselves".

And how can a cut that sounds so full manage to convey such emptiness?…
