Music Matters With MonkeyBoy & Ziggy Season 2 Episode 8

This week on Music Matters, MonkeyBoy and Ziggy saddle up for a trip straight into the heart of ’90s country — a decade where the women weren’t just holding their own, they were running the whole show.

Ziggy comes in locked, loaded, and ready to preach the gospel of Shania, Reba, Martina, Trisha, and the rest of the powerhouse lineup that defined the era. He’s got the charts, the stories, the vocal breakdowns, and the receipts.

MonkeyBoy… well, MonkeyBoy is bravely entering a world he knows absolutely nothing about. Expect confusion. Expect disbelief. Expect him to ask why everyone in the ’90s was either breaking up, getting revenge, or driving a pickup through someone’s front yard. But hey — by the end, even he might be belting “Independence Day.”

Together, they break down:

• The top 20 female artists who shaped the decade
• The songs that dominated radio and rewrote the rules
• Why the ’90s were a rare moment where women led the genre
• And which tracks still hit just as hard today

It’s fun, it’s fiery, it’s educational for at least one of the hosts — and it’s a celebration of the women who made the ’90s one of country music’s greatest eras.

Giddy up. This one’s a ride.
