On the group's second album, Highway 101² (Yes, there was a little superscript "2" as the only distinction from the title of their début. Although many refer to this as Volume 2, those particular words are nowhere on the album), there certainly wasn't any comedown from the heights reached by their first album. Four more songs reached the Billboard Country Top Ten, with "(Do You Love Me) Just Say Yes" at #1, "All the Reasons Why" at #5, "Honky Tonk Heart" at #6, and their cover of Dire Straits' "Setting Me Up" at #7. The album itself nearly matched its predecessor's #7 Country rating, as it rose to #8.
