Alabama is an American country music band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). First operating under the name Wildcountry, the group toured the Southeast bar circuit in the early 1970s, and began writing original songs. They changed their name to Alabama in 1977 and following the chart success of two singles, were approached by RCA Records for a recording deal.
Alabama is one of if not the greatest country groups ever. In my opinion. The group is all cousins except for the drummer who is a close childhood friend of all of theirs.
Alabama is a legendary group with a huge fan base and decades of hits. Also, not to be missed, their Christmas song, Christmas in Dixie which as older men now, they performed with our boys from Home Free for their Christmas special. An amazing collaboration and their lead singer Randy still sounds as clear as he ever did.
Alabama started in 1969 but had their biggest success in the 80's, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums & received numerous awards. The band blends traditional country music & Southern rock combined with elements of bluegrass, folk, gospel & pop music. Some of their most famous songs are "Tennessee River", "Love In The First Degree", "Mountain Music", "Dixieland Delight" "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)", "Song Of The South" etc.
I'd give this 1000 likes if I could.you don't need to Induct them,they are the owners of the club,girl.they were everything in the 80s and 90s.the best country group ever!they been had a string of 22 no. 1 hits and have over 40 total.their harmonies are perfect and their musicianship is savory and unique.I never never never never never tire of alabama.they are the GOATS!
Biggest crush of my life was Randy Owen!! I remember watching the country music awards way back then, waiting to hear who won entertainer of the year and it was Alabama!!! I leaped up off the couch and did a major happy dance! Lol
To say Alabama was huge when I was in high school is an understatement. Every party and dance they would be played over and over again, especially this song. A great song to slow dance and polish your belt buckle to. Anyone with a tape deck would have their tapes blasting in their cars and trucks. And of course, all the girls were in love with them all.
Alabama has always been, and will always be my favorite country group. These guys had the music I sang to while driving down the backroads in my home state of Tennessee. Still do.
I giggled all the way through this one! Alabama has so many great songs it's hard to pick favorites, but I love "Fallin", "Touch Me When We're Dancin'" and "Mountain Music"! But you can't go wrong with any Alabama song! They were the house band at The Bowery" a bar on the grand strand at Myrtle Beach, SC for a time when I was younger. ❤ I got to see them in concert at an outdoor venue with my sister-in-law for their Farewell Concert in Nashville. To say we had a blast doesn't do it justice, lol! We had a fantastic time and Alabama was FIRE!!
I first heard Alabama when I was a kid in high school back in the late seventies. At that time they went by the name "Wild Country" I snuck out at from a school event and went to a local club in Ft. Payne Alabama to just get away with it. They were performing at that club. I was shocked to hear a local band that was so tight! Later one of my neighbors married Jeff Cook the lead guitarist who recently passed. The warm and heartfelt melodies performed by the Band Alabama is the reason they are so endeared by millions today. They were truly a super band during their times reaching high points on all the charts with their award winning hits. Their music brings back such warm fond memories of my youth. Thanks for reviewing this song!
Alabama had SO MANY hit songs and they bring back so many memories of my junior high and high school years in the eighties ❤️❤️ Dixieland Delight, 40 Hour Week, Mountain Music & Love In The First Degree are some of my favorites ❤ Check them out someday
This old man in NC is happy to sit here and share this with u.They played in Myrtle Beach for a few years when they first started.And yeah the girls were crazy about Randy.
My Dad was a singer-songwriter in the 70s and 80s. I grew up on country music, rock, southern rock, soul, you name it. Alabama was played on every jukebox, and every band covered their songs. They are the quintessential country band.
First time I saw Alabama live was in 1980 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. There were many well known top country artists performing on stage that day, particularly the Gatlin Bros. who just had their new hit All The Gold in California just come out, but although relatively a new band, Alabama were the star performers to 100,000 screaming fans that day. I recall saying to my wife that Alabama will be like the Beatles of country music. They went on to completely dominate the country band genre during the 80s and 90s, with multiple Entertainer of the Year Awards in Country Music. Randy Owen, during his prime, would definitely be in your panty dropper gang.
My mom’s cousin married lead singer Randy Owen’s sister and was a roadie of the band for years. He used to get tickets for us when they performed in Michigan where we live. They are the first country music I listened to and became a fan. I don’t know any of them personally but have met them backstage a few times and they were as awesome as I had hoped they would be. ❤
Britt, Back in the day these guys ruled Country-Western music. Hit after hit... They were giants!!! They won several awards for their work! I am glad you enjoyed their work...
@@wendydavidson4814 I guess one of the most favorite of my Wife and myself is "When We Make Love", would love to have a dollar for each time I have heard it since we met. My Wife and I were guests on a cruise a couple or three years back with Alabama and a lot of country music stars. Great cruise!!!
Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, they changed their name from "Wild Country" to "Alabama" in 1977. Jeff Cook passed away November 7, 2022. They have charted 43 #1 singles including 21 #1 singles in a row
You need to react to "Alabama's "Close Enough to Perfect" ... it described how I felt about the love of my life and how she felt about me. We held each other close to both that song and this one, and as the words said here it felt so right. If I close my eyes and listen to this or Close Enough I can feel her beside me again, for a few minutes the power of music brings her back. When songs have that kind of power you know they are classics. Rest Easy Kate you are still oved and missed. Oh by the way Britt that feeling you had about Randy ... yeah most women with a pulse reacted that way ;)
Alabama is the best country band of all time. They have a long list of PD songs like this and more upbeat songs like Tennessee River, Mountain Music, 40 hour week etc.
They have many hits. All their songs just have a cool soothing style even though most are more soft rock. This was a slower version compared to their other hits. They always had a unique sound and harmony. My favorite country/soft rock group of all time.
Thanks much. Another song they did was 'Old Flame Burning in Your Heart. Had an old girlfriend from back in '65' send me that song a few years ago. Brought back memories,,, and knowing I still rank high on her list after 55 years.
You do some very god reviews; keep up the awesome work. Alabama is one of my favorite bands; I started listening to the in the early 80's (yes I am old); then while driving OTR (trucking) I had the opportunity to go to the June Jam in Fort Payne AL; this was a two day concert (sometimes 3) with a lot of bands and one hell of a party (for a dry county) that was a blast, seeing them perform in person and then met them was a once in a lifetime treasure. I will always love listening to there music; I still have records with their old music.
Aahhh... My beautiful mommas favorite country band...I have so many memories growing up listening to Alabama...Randy Owens ..such a wonderful voice..I miss my mom
The thing with this group is you can't go wrong. They put out hit after hit after hit. My dad and I were talking about them the other day and how they just had this natural talent that didn't require in flash or fanfare. They just took to the stage and owned it. I could suggest so many but with Alabama I always say "40 Hour Week" and "Angels Among Us”.
I am so excited, that you have discovered Alabama!! When you talk about the true, GREATEST of all time country groups....It. Is. ALABAMA!!!! I cant wait for you to go down this rabbit hole. They have more #1 hits and more awards, than any other. You will not be disappointed.
Randy Owen, lead singer, absolutely a charmer. SOOOOOOO FINE!!! The smile, the hair and the whiskers... sheer perfection! And he's fun/playful as well, these guys are so talented and quite entertaining (in concert). I've seen these guys many times in concert. My husband (then boyfriend & really good sport lol) knew that I was all about Randy Owen. OH MY!!! lol Randy was my big 'crush', he still makes me swoon. 🥰🤗😍❤🔥🤩😘😁 Also check out 'Lady Down On Love' by these guys. You'll love it!
In my opinion greatest country band of all time. You will definitely induct them all into the PDC. RIP MR JEFF COOK he is the gentleman on the singers right.
The best concert I ever attended was in 1983 in my Hometown of Wilmington. Nc. It was the Azalea Festival. and Alabama was the warm up act for Hank Williams JR. Everyone knew that Alabama would make it big time. Hank Williams JR let Alabama join him for a song. Both Alabama and Hank Williams Jr are in the country Hall of Fame1
Hey, Brit…I just subscribed to your channel. I really enjoy your reaction videos, especially how you talk about the fashion & the PDC club! Alabama was the 2nd concert I ever saw in my life back in the 80’s with my Best Friend. Randy Owen was definitely a PD lead singer. I screamed so much that I lost my voice for 3 or 4 days. Fast forward to 2013…I was battling Breast Cancer and same Best Friend got us tickets to an Alabama concert. I screamed as much as my body would let me 🙂. My favorite songs are Feels So Right, There’s No Way and Take Me Down (a bonafide pd). Also, the country artist that is 😍right now is Brett Young…Mercy and In Case you Didn’t Know are must hear songs. He will melt your heart.
🎼🎼🔥🎼🎼 .. yeah oh yeah - I am glad you made it here in your Country Music journey. Alabama was on the radio constantly in the 80s , and I loved every new song. It is great to see your reaction to the Country boys. ⭐️🎈⭐️
Alabama is great, love them. Classics like "Mountain Music" or "Song Of the South" are worth checking out. My favourite though is "Dixieland Delight" - catchy song and nice video. Also fun and worth a listen: "Old Alabama" by Brad Paisley feat. the original Alabama.
Thanks for reacting to some Alabama! They are an iconic American country music and southern rock band formed in 1969 in Fort Payne, AL. They charted over 80-songs including over 40 #1 hits on the Country music charts and over 30 hits on the Adult-Contemporary and Pop charts selling over 80-million albums worldwide. They're legendary live shows broke attendance records, selling out arenas and stadiums across North America. Look forward to more Alabama reactions...possibly "Mountain Music", "Dixieland Delight", "I'm In A Hurry", "If You're Gonna Play In Texas", "Song Of The South", "The Closer You Get", "Lady Down On Love", "Roll On", "40-Hour Week", "Cheap Seats"...
I absolutely love watching and listening to you react to these songs. I’m 64 year old country boy and I love old country music, but I love all kinds of music. Tom Macdonald being one of my favorites. Keep up the great work.
Loved Alabama in their prime!My ex husband used to sing in a band. He would do Lady Down On Love. Alabama was also Artist of The Decade in country music.
Back when they came out, they won everything for several years! Talk about a ton of Great music! They can do no wrong! Lead singer, he's in the club !! ❣😘
They’re cousins. One of the BEST country bands ever. So many fabulous songs. I love Mountain Music, Lady Down on Love, If You’re Gonna play in Texas. This band ruled country in the 80s. They don’t have a song you won’t like.
Oh my gosh…. Love Alabama! My mom had all their albums so I grew up on them. My sis and I had our kids (her two and my two) loaded up in the back of the car headed to a family reunion an hour and half away and we played Alabama there and all the way back…. We told them they were going to know what good music was, I’m sure with 3 hours of Alabama and my sis and I singing every song that is was excruciating for them 😂
One of my absolute favorite bands you must listen to more of their music and yes the lead singer is differently charming sensual and has a lot of charisma
Welcome to sweet home Alabama darling, so happy you found my boys. This band consists of 3 Alabama cousin's and a drummer from New York . Their Playlist is phenomenal.
Alabama is a deep rabbit hole to explore. Tons of country hits. Great harmonies, probably due to the fact that 3 out front are cousins. Saw them 3 times live back in the 80’s. Great shows.
Alamba was an great country group great song react too this song they song too Angels Among Us another great react by you again Britt thank you for sharing this with us Britt.❤️👍
It's funny that you're talking about how cute the lead singer is. His name is Randy Owen and I have had a crush on that man since I was about 13 years old and I am now 53, LOL.
Loved this. Little story, my uncle lived not far from Fort Payne. Got to see these guys a few times and were super nice. Jeff Cook gave my Aunt a special designed/ painted guitar she had in a glass case on the wall. Wish I had that guitar now. Hope to see more Alabama as the have a long list of hit songs. Much love and prayers ❤️ 🙏
Many years ago I worked security at a large venue and Alabama had a performance there. I didn't interact with them directly but watching them interact with others I recall they struck me as a real group of gentlemen. Their fans were a pleasure to work with as well.
The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.
They are inspiring to many other artists can't go wrong with any song of theirs. Especially the love songs. Please listen to more. ANGELS AMONG US. 40 Hour. And ROLL ON 18 WHEELER are my favs
When Randy Owens sings those love songs my heart melts brings so many memories .. they are related

Alabama is one of if not the greatest country groups ever. In my opinion. The group is all cousins except for the drummer who is a close childhood friend of all of theirs.
Alabama was the #1 country group in the 80's-90's. They ruled the airwaves. If you would try Lady Down On Love. You will love it
Great harmonies on Lady, Down on Love.
Paney Dropper 👍🤣
They were great for a long time. I Sean them Atleast 6 times. Great guys also .
They were cousins except for the drummer. Two of my favorites are, Why Lady Why and She and I!
They were a hit machine.

Beautiful song and this bombshell of a lady reacting puts Hollywood actresses to shame. Plus she’s funny and witty. Subscribed.
You were captivated. When you stop to talk about it you brush it off but your smile when it plays gives it away.
You do some very god reviews; keep up the awesome work.

One of if not the best country band of all time. Amazing vocals and great songs
they are great!
@@brittreacts right up there with The Eagles for harmonies. They will hook you in!
One of the greatest slow dance songs of all time. My wife and I slow dance to this one all the time.
The GREATEST COUNTRY BAND OF ALL TIME. Over 30 number ones!
The thing with this group is you can't go wrong. They put out hit after hit after hit. My dad and I were talking about them the other day and how they just had this natural talent that didn't require in flash or fanfare. They just took to the stage and owned it.

Love anything by Alabama! Hugely popular back in late 70s and 80s especially. Got to see them in concert. Great show!
Alabama has 42 #1 hits. So you really can't go wrong with any song you pick. And yes, Randy Owen, the lead singer made women swoon big-time.

In my opinion greatest country band of all time. You will definitely induct them all into the PDC. RIP MR JEFF COOK he is the gentleman on the singers right.
I’ve always loved Alabama, their songs are smooth sensual songs or they’re about working class people or just having fun! ❤
The best concert I ever attended was in 1983 in my Hometown of Wilmington. Nc. It was the Azalea Festival. and Alabama was the warm up act for Hank Williams JR.

I absolutely love watching and listening to you react to these songs. I’m 64 year old country boy and I love old country music, but I love all kinds of music. Tom Macdonald being one of my favorites. Keep up the great work.
Country music’s most popular band in the 80’s and early 90’s. My favorites? “It Works” and “Angels Among Us”(official videos only).
Loved Alabama in their prime!My ex husband used to sing in a band. He would do Lady Down On Love. Alabama was also Artist of The Decade in country music.
Back when they came out, they won everything for several years! Talk about a ton of Great music! They can do no wrong! Lead singer, he's in the club !! ❣😘
Alabama is legendary. I had a chance to travel to Ft. Payne Alabama once. They have a little bit of the southern rock vibe as well.
I saw them in concert in the 90's. Absolutely unforgettable
They’re cousins. One of the BEST country bands ever. So many fabulous songs. I love Mountain Music, Lady Down on Love, If You’re Gonna play in Texas. This band ruled country in the 80s. They don’t have a song you won’t like.
Oh my gosh…. Love Alabama! My mom had all their albums so I grew up on them.

Welcome to sweet home Alabama darling, so happy you found my boys. This band consists of 3 Alabama cousin's and a drummer from New York . Their Playlist is phenomenal.
Christmas in Dixie is one of my many favorites of theirs. Love Alabama ❤️
Alabama is a deep rabbit hole to explore. Tons of country hits. Great harmonies, probably due to the fact that 3 out front are cousins. Saw them 3 times live back in the 80’s. Great shows.
Karaoke banger in South Alabama! I'm 53 and saw them live in my hometown of Montgomery, Alabama in the 70s at the Civic Center.
Alamba was an great country group great song react too this song they song too Angels Among Us another great react by you again Britt thank you for sharing this with us Britt.❤️👍
Love in the first degree is another great love song by them!
They had a lot of FEEL GOOD songs for sure!!!
Alabama was a group of cousins that were so great that they had 43 number 1 hits and also won entertainer of the decade multiple times
One of the greatest country bands of all time honey. Randy Owen's music is a gem in the industry. He wrote all of their hits...
Darealdeal
Smooth soothing crooner beutifull 😊thanks for playing it great music 😊
It's funny that you're talking about how cute the lead singer is. His name is Randy Owen and I have had a crush on that man since I was about 13 years old and I am now 53, LOL.
Loved this. Little story, my uncle lived not far from Fort Payne. Got to see these guys a few times and were super nice. Jeff Cook gave my Aunt a special designed/ painted guitar she had in a glass case on the wall. Wish I had that guitar now. Hope to see more Alabama as the have a long list of hit songs. Much love and prayers ❤️ 🙏
WOW! that is so cool!
Bama is the greatest country band of all time any song they have is worth listening to
I love Alabama you can not go wrong with any. Of there songs ,Great reaction I’m glad you enjoyed them hopefully you will do more.
I loved Alabama!! They were the biggest thing in country music in the early 80s
LOL PDC "Lady Down on Love" is an amazing song by these guys. family members. Monster hit makers in country, the 1st Super group of Country.
You just opened a rabbit hole of historically & statistically one of the greatest Bands of Any Genre to Ever exist!!
Many years ago I worked security at a large venue and Alabama had a performance there. I didn't interact with them directly but watching them interact with others I recall they struck me as a real group of gentlemen. Their fans were a pleasure to work with as well.
They are not brothers, but the 3 front men Randy Owen(singer) Jeff Cook (RIP Guitar/Fiddle)) and Teddy Gentry (Bass) are Cousins!
The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.
Alabama played at The Bowery in Myrtle Beach SC for years. They are icons of the industry!!
They are inspiring to many other artists can't go wrong with any song of theirs. Especially the love songs. Please listen to more. ANGELS AMONG US. 40 Hour. And ROLL ON 18 WHEELER are my favs
