Alabama are Country Rock veterans beloved by gun enthusiasts and pick-up owners across these United States. With arena-rock aesthetics and pure country songs, Alabama tapped into a mother lode of a fan-base. Their booming New Country anthems and tear-jerker ballads have crossed over into the pop world more than once, illustrating a nationwide taste for countrified boogie and bearded lead singers. After more than two decades, these guys are still producing chart-topping songs rooted as deeply in rock tradition as they are in the irony and sentimentalism of country music.
