1 of the best Alabama records

I actually own this in vinyl format instead of cd format.
This is one of those records you keep forever. When the vynyl record gets too scratched I'll buy the cd.

Alabama at it's best!!

This is the record that put Alabama on the map. The first track to the last shows you what 4 musicians who love and respect each other can do. They will always remind me of a girl named Angie, my first love! This is the blueprint for anyone who picks up a Bass, a Guitar, Drumsticks and a Microphone. These Alabama Boys will be missed!!

Third album is a classic

Following the huge success of their second album, Feels so right, came this classic album. It yielded three country number one hits. The brilliant title track takes a nostalgic look at mountain music but it is a misleading album title - this is definitely an eighties country album. Take me down is a cover of a song by pop group Exile, who later switched to country and became Alabama's main rivals for a while. The other number one hit, Close enough to perfect, would have been an accurate album title.

Elsewhere, this album contains many excellent songs, both ballads and up-tempo, most notably Green river (a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic), Words at twenty paces and the closing Gonna have a party.

This is one of Alabama's most successful original albums and deservedly so. You can find the hits on For the record 41 number one hits, but if you want to go beyond that, this should be high on your list of Alabama albums to collect.
