Alabama: Song of the South

The band Alabama is a country music phenomenon that produced thirty-two #1 Billboard country hits from 1980 to 1993, and achieved unprecedented commercial success while broadening country s audience with a tried and true rock and roll model
that of a self-contained outfit that handled the instruments as well as the vocals. By doing so, Alabama paved the way for bands like Restless Heart, Shenandoah, and the Mavericks. This book complements the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibition Alabama: Song of the South, and contains many rare photos and an essay by Ed Morris, the former country music editor of Billboard.
