Groupe Country US formé en 1986
et comprenant Paulette Carlson,
Jack Daniels, Curtis Stone et Cactus Moser.
One of the
most popular country bands of the late '80s, Highway 101 boasted an influential
country-rock sound that helped pave the way for the blockbuster superstars of
the '90s. The group was fronted by singer/guitarist
Paulette Carlson, a Minnesota
native, and assembled by manager Chuck Morris in Los Angeles in 1986. Morris
pulled together Jack Daniels (guitar), Curtis Stone (bass, guitar, mandolin),
and drummer Cactus Moser, all of whom were seasoned session pros; Daniels and
Stone had also worked together as the Lizards. Highway 101 signed with Warner
Bros. and issued its self-titled debut in 1987. It was an immediate success, as
the first two singles — "The Bed You Made for Me" and "Whiskey, if You Were a
Woman" — shot into the country Top Five. The next two, "Somewhere Tonight" and "Cry,
Cry, Cry," both went to number one, and seemingly overnight, the group members
had become stars. Their 1988 follow-up, Highway 101, Vol. 2, spawned
another chart-topper in "(Do You Love Me) Just Say Yes," and three more Top Tens
in "All the Reasons Why," "Setting Me Up," and "Honky Tonk Heart." Following
1989's Paint the Town, which contained one further chart-topper in "Who's
Lonely Now," Carlson left the
band for a solo career in 1990. She was replaced by Nikki Nelson, who debuted on
1991's Bing Bang Boom; however, despite some decent-sized hits, the new
version of Highway 101 wasn't quite as commercially successful, and the band
soon parted ways with Warner. They signed with Liberty for 1993's The New
Frontier, but the album flopped, and Daniels subsequently left the group. He
and Carlson temporarily returned
to the fold for 1996's Reunited, released on the smaller Intersound
label. Curtis Stone and Cactus Moser later formed a new version of Highway 101
with vocalist Chrislynn Lee and guitarist Charlie White, and recorded Big Sky
for FreeFalls in 2000. White left in 2002 and was replaced by Justin Weaver.
