From the moment they formed, Highway 101 presented a new approach to country music. The group's blend of country roots and tradition with rock and roll energy helped to catapult the country genre forward, tapping a whole new audience and paving the way for such mass appeal artists as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw. Their special sound was established after recording The Bed You Made For Me. Their first album, Highway 101, was a stunning album with a style that had never been heard before in the world of country music. The album yielded four top 5 hits, including two number ones, Somewhere Tonight and Cry, Cry, Cry.

As the group evolved into a country sensation, their appearances on both stage and TV increased, including a North American tours with Randy Travis and George Strait and a debut television appearance at the 1987 Country Music Association awards with Hank Williams Jr. Practically overnight, Highway 101 was in demand as country's most exciting outfit. In 1988 their album Highway 1012 spawned four top 10 singles including the number one hit (Do You Love Me) Just Say Yes. 1988 provided more than hit singles as the group was recognized by their peers, receiving the nod as “Vocal Group Of The Year” from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. They were also acknowledged at the Grammy Awards with a nomination for “Album of the Year” and “Single of the Year”. Highway 101 was the first country band to feature aggressive production fronted by a female singer.
