Three country songs released in 1995 are highlighted as enduring favourites for people who grew up in the 1990s: Alan Jackson’s “Tall, Tall Trees”, Shania Twain’s “Any Man Of Mine” and Brooks & Dunn’s “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone”. The article presents them as examples of the decade’s influential country sound and recalls the artists’ respective chart success and distinctive roles in each recording.

– Alan Jackson’s “Tall, Tall Trees”, from his first hits compilation, was written by George Jones and Roger Miller; both had previously recorded versions.
– Shania Twain’s “Any Man Of Mine”, from *The Woman In Me*, was co-written with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange and became her first multi-platinum single and first US number one, spending two weeks at the summit.
– Brooks & Dunn’s “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone”, from *Waitin’ On Sundown*, was written by Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and Don Cook, and unusually features Brooks on lead vocals.
