In the early '90s, when country and pop music were starting to become intertwined, Sammy Kershaw found fame straight out of the gate by bucking the trend. His debut single "Cadillac Style" showed him to be a twang-loving disciple of old-school kings like George Jones and Merle Haggard, and it was that sense of traditionalism that helped him stand out from his peers. Kershaw also showed a knack for delivering tongue-in-cheek lyrics with just the right balance between sarcasm and sentiment, as heard on the left-field love song "Queen of My Double Wide Trailer."
