Highway 101 is the self-titled debut studio album by American country music band Highway 101. It saw the group shoot straight to the top of the country music charts with two singles hitting the #1 spot on the Billboard Country charts, another rising to #2, and a fourth song at #4. The album itself was a #7 Country album. The #1 hits were "Somewhere Tonight" and "Cry, Cry, Cry." Also, "Whiskey, If You Were a Woman" rose to #2, and "The Bed You Made for Me" did almost as well, reaching #4. Track 4, "Woman Walk the Line" was redone by country singer Trisha Yearwood for her sophomore effort, released in 1992.
