Alabama is a country rock music band based in Fort Payne, Alabama. They are often also considered as a southern rock group. They are in fact one of the oldest bands of this genre. They were formed in 1969 by the lead singer Randy Owen, who also plays rhythm guitars. Also in the band are Jeff Cook, the lead guitarist and keyboardist and fiddle player and Teddy Gentry, the bass player and the background vocalist. Gentry is Owen's cousin and is also one of the founders of the band. While others members have come and gone, these three are the ones that have continued to play shows throughout the band's time, including their very last, the Farewell Tour in 2011. But near the end of the tour, just as the fans had said their goodbyes, Cook felt as if the tour was not ending right. Thus a reunion was announced with new material in 2012 and a subsequent concert tour in 2013. The band wants their very last show to be played in Alabama. Alabama tickets are thus being sold like hot cakes to fans that have stuck with this group from the very beginning.
 
The band officially began to play seriously in 1973; right after Owen had graduated from the "Jacksonville State University". It was then that they decided to give up their regular jobs and focus on their music without any distractions. When they began, they were known as "Wildcountry", and it was by this name that they began to travel and perform shows around in clubs in nearby cities. They went as far as South Carolina and began to be recognized as an independent local band. At the time that they were struggling, country music did not have groups in the mainstream. The charts consisted mainly of solo artists, thus, marketing themselves as a legitimate country music group was perhaps the biggest challenge when they were to knock on producers' doors. This is the reason why they are often given credit as the reason why groups became accepted in the industry's mainstream.
 
As far as their music is concerned, commentators have, over the years, identified a number of influences that are potent in their work. Traditional country fans get their fill when they listen to music, as do the younger listeners who prefer a more upbeat, rock oriented sound. Their accent and the subject matter of their songs have labeled them as being "southern rock" artists. Other than that, gospel influences have also been heard in some of their tracks. Their music has an overall pop feel which helps in appealing to the non country music listeners. This is perhaps what has made them so successful-the fact that their audience is not limited and they have crossover appeal.
 
Their shows are also nothing short of a spectacle. They do not simply sing their list of songs; they embody a rock concert when they perform. Lights, smoke, and fireworks are only some of the elements of their performances that have excited their audiences. This is perhaps the reason why million of Alabama tickets are sold over the years. Not only have they had success as live performers, but also as recording artists-they have sold more than 73 million albums over the world and have had around 30 number ones on Billboard. Their success and the phenomenon that they have created earned them a "Hollywood Walk of Fame" star in 1998. They are also inductees of the "Country Music Hall of Fame", an honor they received in 2005.
 
They found success again in 2011 when they collaborated with a contemporary country music star, Brad Paisley for a song called "Old Alabama". They also provided guest vocals on the artist's song. With this song, the young artist wanted to pay homage to the band, someone he has considered as his inspiration from the get go. The bridge to the song is originally from the band's song "Mountain Music". Other than that, the song holds references from different Alabama tracks as well including "Tennessee River", and "Why Lady Why". Some other hits like "Love in the First Degree" and "Feels So Right" have also been referenced in the track. Moreover, the fiddle refrain from "Mountain Music" is used throughout "Old Alabama".
 
Alabama is now a country music legend. Together, they have inspired many artists like Brad Paisley, and have paved the way for other artists, like the "Rascal Flatts".
