The inaugural issue of Country Weekly magazine debuted 23 years ago on April 12, 1994. While the print version of Country Weekly ceased in 2016, the content still lives at Nash Country Daily.

Flipping through the magazine almost a quarter-century later, a few things caught our eye, including:

  • Garth Brooks on the cover, with pics of his newborn daughter, Taylor, as well as his mom, in the cover story
