It's never anyone's dream to be a one-hit wonder -- but it happens fairly frequently: Although you remember the song itself (and all of the lyrics ...), you're left scratching your head on who the artist singing it is.

Plenty of well-known (and well-loved) country albums are 20 years old in 2019 ...

The average country artist's career is, for the most part, well orchestrated and carefully plotted. But every once in a while, whether planned for or not, one small step can turn into a big deal.
