Girl no matter what song you react to from Alabama you can't go wrong. RIP to Jeff Cook.

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 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.

Don't forget artists of the Decade for the 1980's

41 #1 hits? Yeah, I'd buy that. Lots of talent in that band.

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.

true! I will keep it in mind, thanks!!

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.

Ooh, Ooh, listen to "Close Enough To Perfect". And, yes, Randy Owens is incredibly charismatic and belongs in the club.

Omg I was so in love with him in high school. Lol, all these years later and I can say I wasn’t wrong. 😉

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.

I’m glad you enjoyed this. Alabama is a great country band. Try Mountain Music and If You’re Gonna Play In Texas. 😊

@@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!!!

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.

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.

Hope you liked that as much as I loved your reaction..alot!..62 year old former marine from south carolina

For a Fun Alabama Song, might I suggest "If you're gonna play in Texas".

One of the best country bands ever! My personal favorite!

Alabama breathed new life into country music. They were to country what the Beatles were to rock n roll Another great reaction

Been listening to Alabama since the 70s as a kid and still live the good tunes

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

Alabama is a Country Music Iconic Group!!! Great music!!

I recommend the song "Angels Among Us" by Alabama - the official video specifically. It will warm your heart.

Saw him while I was in the audience at a concert and waved at him during this song and he waved back. At least that is what I think. Love Alabama.

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. ❤

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

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.

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...

I remember listening to that on the radio when i was little! Country music honestly wouldn't be country music without Alabama!

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!!

My Favorite Country Band OF ALL TIME!!! Over 40 number 1 hits…. Need more Alabama!!!

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 ;)

One of the greatest slow dance songs of all time. My wife and I slow dance to this one all the time.

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.

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.

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.

That look when he said…your wish is my demand!!!!

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.

They will always be special to me, I got engaged the night we went to their concert.

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.

One of if not the best country band of all time. Amazing vocals and great songs

The lead singer, Randy Owen, the bass player, Teddy Gentry, and the lead guitarist, Jeff Cook, are all cousins. The drummer, Mark Herndon was not related, and was actually an employee of the group. Jeff just recently passed away.

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 😂

The greatest country group all time!!

The GREATEST COUNTRY BAND OF ALL TIME. Over 30 number ones!

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.

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.

Mmmmmm.... love your country reactions Britt. Alabama is definitely worth your time to do a deep dive into they set a record the first 21 singles they released went to #1 when they changed their name from Wild Country to Alabama and signed a deal. Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook are cousins. Sadly Jeff passed last year he suffered from Parkinson

My husbands favorite song by Alabama is Close Enough To Perfect! He says the words always describe me and also how he feels!! ❤

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.

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.

I think Britt is awesome!! She is really cool. This song is also wonderful.

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.

The greatest country band, Alabama.

Alabama is one of the very few groups/artists that received "Entertainer of the decade"

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

Love Randy's voice. They were always amazing live in concerts. 😊

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

I saw Alabama live the first year of their big break. They were fabulous live. Try their songs My Home's in Alabama and Old Flame.

Alabama is a great band and they are cousins. One of my favorites songs by them is Shagging on the Boulevard. Take a listen. Love your reaction.

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"...

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.

There are a LOT of songs for you to listen to with Alabama with over 40 #1 Country hits! Some of my favorites are: Mountain Music Dixieland Delight The Closer You Get If You're Going To Play In Texas

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

Alabama had some fantastic vocal harmonies.

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”.

You just opened a rabbit hole of historically & statistically one of the greatest Bands of Any Genre to Ever exist!!

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.

More Alabama PLEASE! The Official Video for Dixieland Delight is a must see.

Love anything by Alabama! Hugely popular back in late 70s and 80s especially. Got to see them in concert. Great show!

Used to play in a little club at Myrtle Beach then one day they were discovered and the rest is history,, literally a history making band !

Omg! I’m so glad you reacted to them Alabama boys 💗🤩you’ve got a lot of good songs to look forward to 😊

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

Add to your playlist! I was traveling to a track meet with my adult daughter & and another mother with their teenage boys. We were playing and Alabama CD and this song came on. After the 2nd or 3rd "feels so right", my daughter's son said, "get a room!". Ruined the whole vibe but we all roared with laughter and we made a wonderful memory!

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 ❤️ 🙏

Alabama was HUGE and n the early to mid 1980s with around 50 #1 songs on the country charts and several that crossed over to the pop charts.

I loved Alabama!! They were the biggest thing in country music in the early 80s

These guy's are great and family members Randy Owen the lead singer has a great voice they had really great music if you liked this try "LADY DOWN ON LOVE" another great song by Alabama, thanks Britt, you didn't mention who made the request

Alabama is probably the greatest country band of all time. Your facial expressions get me every time!😂

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.

I consider them to be country/rock. They were the biggest country band in the 80s. Keep in mind that this is recorded live...that's how good they were. Yes, Randy Owen is charming. Check out "Love in the First Degree".

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.

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.

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).

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.

Saw them live back in the 80’s and they were extremely good live.

And I forgot to say, Alabama's members are cousins. You can't beat family harmonies!

Great Honest reaction... Alabama is a super group... They had a streak of 21 Number 1's and a total of 41 number ones. They are cousins. You should check She and I, Why Lady Why, Face to Face, If I Had you and Forevers as far as I'll go. And Randy Owen will make it into the PDC...😂😊
