Line 10:
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.
Not to be confused with [[Alabama (Canadian band)|the Canadian band of the same name and vintage]], the [[A3|British band with a similar name]] they were forced to change, or the US state.
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Album Title Drop]]: ''Just Us'' is title-dropped on "Tar Top".
* [[And Stay Out!]]: The phrase isn't used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r5p2zBm7bs "I Showed Her"] about a man whose wife walked out on him, but the trope is there:
{{quote|''I guess I showed her
''How much she had to lose
''Showed her, who was really who
''I know she's hurtin' now
''Looks like I showed her}}
* [[The Band Minus the Face]]: Averted with Owen's self-titled album, if only because the band is in semi-retirement anyway.
* [[Christmas Songs]]: "Christmas in Dixie" is one of the best-known country music Christmas songs ever. Not surprisingly, the band included it on ''several'' Christmas albums. "Angels Among Us" was ostensibly a Christmas song (it was released in 1993 with a Christmas song on the B-side, and typical of country Christmas songs at the time, re-charted for the next couple Christmases), but there's nothing particularly Christmas-y about it except for it taking place in winter.
