Alabama: Difference between revisions

A long-lasting [[Country Music]] band. For most of its career [[Alabama]] was comprised of cousins Randy Owen (lead vocals, guitar), Jeff Cook (keyboards, fiddle), Teddy Gentry (bass); and drummer Mark Herndon, although three different drummers had played in the band before Herndon joined in 1979.

 

 

The band's momentum slowed a bit come the 1990s, despite its biggest No. 1 hit in 1990 with "Jukebox in My Mind." Although its last No. 1 hit came in 1993 with "Reckless," Alabama continued to chart consistently within the Top 10 until the end of the decade. Album sales, however, began to slip, and the crossovers just weren't coming on as strongly (save for a collaboration with 'N Sync on "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You"). Alabama charted its last Top 40 hit in 2001 with "When It All Goes South" and then effectively retired following a 2003 tour. Two albums of inspirational music followed in 2006 and 2007, and Owen released a solo album in 2008. Alabama is currently semi-retired, with Cook, Gentry and Owen occasionally coming out to do new projects, including a song for a [[Waylon Jennings]] tribute and a guest appearance on [[Brad Paisley]]'s "Old Alabama", both in 2011.
