Product description

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2019

  • Three original albums from Highway 101 plus two bonus tracks on a 2 CD set.
  • Recorded between 1987 and 1990, containing 12 chart hits, 4 #1s and six Top Tens.

In the early 1980s country band Alabama created fresh excitement within country music, opening up the doorway for outfits like Exile, Sawyer Brown, Little Texas and The Kentucky Headhunters. Then, enter Highway 101, an outfit that broke the group scene’s male dominance with a female vocalist as its central figure while at the same time creating a distinctive contemporary sound that blended the country music of Nashville and the West Coast with a tinkling of pop.

Lead singer Paulette Carlson was perfect to front this band. Playing music and writing songs for as long as she can remember, Carlson relocated to Nashville in 1978 and started paying her dues as a staff writer for The Oak Ridge Boys’ music publishing company and by singing backup for Gail Davies.

Chuck Morris, the manager of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Lyle Lovett wanted to form an outfit that would combine traditional country with rock ‘n’ roll. After hearing Carlson’s demo recordings, she completed Morris’s line-up for Highway 101 that included Cactus Moser, Jack Daniels and Curtis Stone. Carlson’s husky vocals were well complemented by the musicians and her contributions as a writer ensured the band’s success. Their second single release ‘The Bed You Saved For Me’, written by Carlson, saw the start of a successful seven year run.

    Three albums in one cd from a great sounding country band. Delicious honky-tonk tracks from a band not so well known in UK.

    Got them all on vinyl - but hey , what a steal for these 3 cd's. Terrific stuff when country was "country". No country-rap, no country-disco, no country whatever. Great stuff - Paulette has one of the best voices in country ever. An absolute must have for country fans!!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein nostalgischer Ausflug in eine Zeit, als Country Music noch Country Music war.
    Reviewed in Germany on 18 March 2021
    Mitte/Ende der 80er Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts stieg ein neuer Stern am Himmel der Country Music - Szene auf: Highway 101. Diese Gruppe bestach durch ihre musikalische Frische sowie durch den charakteristischen Timbre ihrer Lead-Sängerin, Paulette Carlson, Im Laufe von vier Jahren wurden vier #1 und sechs Top Ten - Hits eingespielt (1988 & 1989 CMA & ACM Vocal Group of the Year).
    Als Paulette Carlson Highway 101 in1990 verließ, um eine (wenig erfolgreiche) Solokarriere zu starten, verlor die Gruppe auch ihren ursprünglichen Drive. Die nachfolgenden Singles ab 1991 ließen die frühere musikalische Authentizität vermissen.
    Auf dieser CD (Originalaufnahmen) sind alle o. g.Hits sowie weitere iinteressante Aufnahmen der ersten drei Alben enthalten. Eine außerordentlich gelungene Zusammenfassung!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music CD...
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2019
    Wonderful music from the mid to late 1990’s, but the 1 thing that disappointed me, was the fact, when Paulette Carlson left the group, various female singers tried to fill that void, but the group did have another hit, named “Bing Bang Boom,” but the song wasn’t put on this great CD! That alone was my only complaint, just awesome music throughout this collection....
