This week in country music history covers a wild, telling stretch across October 13–19. We revisit the night Charlie Rich lit the CMA envelope, Tammy Wynette’s first #1, and the birth of Melba Montgomery. We head into Nashville late nights with Loretta Lynn’s recording, and into TV’s early country spotlight with Willie Nelson on Austin City Limits. We also honor Dallas Harms, whose Canadian hits struck a chord in country lovers everywhere.

This week in country music history takes us from Johnny Cash’s prison roar to Garth Brooks’ shaky Opry debut, and everywhere in between. On October 6, 1969, At San Quentin hit #1, cementing the Man in Black’s outlaw legend. Just a few years later, George Strait scored his very first chart-topping album, and in 1996, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill tied the knot to become country’s royal couple. Add in Alan Jackson’s first #1 record, Reba’s Billboard-topping Duets, and the unforgettable moment Garth almost forgot the lyrics at his Opry induction, and you’ve got a week packed with legends, laughs, and country milestones.

From Hank Snow’s first recordings to Tanya Tucker’s birthday, this week proves one thing: country history never misses a beat.
