About
With their 40th anniversary at hand in 2013, legendary country band Alabama embarked on their first tour in more than a decade and released an officially endorsed tribute album titled "Alabama and Friends." The album features current country stars covering some of Alabama's country-rock classics -- including Kenny Chesney on "Lady Down on Love," Jason Aldean on "Tennessee River," Luke Bryan on "Love in the First Degree," and the Eli Young Band on "The Closer You Get" -- along with two new Alabama songs. It was a fitting tribute for the most successful band in country music history, which logged 34 singles that topped Billboard's country singles chart between 1980 and 2011 and has sold more than 75 million albums. The band's core remains the same as when it was founded in 1969, when they were known as Wildcountry: Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass), and another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, keyboards, fiddle). By 1973, the trio had decided to pursue music full time and they signed their first record deal -- and changed their name to The Alabama Band at the label's request -- in 1977. By the '80s, the band had hit its stride, moving huge numbers of concert tickets and filling their trophy cases with multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards.

Alabama reunites with heart!!
by Dixie40601 on 9/4/11Tuscaloosa Amphitheater - TuscaloosaRating: 5 out of 5It was breath taking!! They preformed each song with heart and gratitude to the crowd who came out to help support Tuscaloosa in their time of need. A great group within a great state!
Alabama Concert, one of the best I've seen
by RollTideAlex on 9/4/11Tuscaloosa Amphitheater - TuscaloosaRating: 5 out of 5This Alabama concert was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band interacted with the audience and played a great set list. I am glad that I went and would have paid a lot to have experienced that.
Alabama was Awesome!!
by armywife23 on 9/4/11Tuscaloosa Amphitheater - TuscaloosaRating: 5 out of 5The Alabama concert was awesome! Alabama really done a great job helping out Tuscaloosa! God bless this group! I wish that someone would make a DVD of this concert!
ALABAMA is about the best!
by walkswithwolves1 on 8/4/11Any where AlabamA chooses to play - AnywhereRating: 5 out of 5Have only seen this group about 352 times and that doesn't count the outdoor shows like when they played for the polo club in Daphne or any of the June Jams, or up at the State Park in Birmingham! Have never seen a bad show. One of the saddest shows was the Bama Rising show and that was because it was the first without Mark Herndon. Of course, the 3 other guys were GREAT!! Long after the new groups have come and gone, AlabamA could continue to draw mega crowds if they wanted to continue in the industry. RANDY, JEFF, TEDDY! We are ready to party and wish you would start everything all over again. We aren't getting older....we are just getting more mellow and finer--like wine! You know there of some of us like Dennie, Nikki, Kim, Nina, and Kris and Debbie that would love to be back on the road following you from concert to concert!!!
