De finales de los 70, Alabama es uno de los grupos de country más populares. Con un sonido roquero, volvieron a popularizar a las bandas de country en una industria a favor de los artistas en solitario. La formaron en Fort Payne, Alabama, los primos Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry y Jeff Cook y editaron un single de debut de producción independiente "I Wanna Be With You Tonight" en 1977. Tras "Tennessee River" de 1980 comenzaron una saga de 27 números 1 en las listas del country y 7 álbumes de platino durante una década.

This mountain king, 's done left his throne On the Tennessee River and his mountain home But I'm goin' back, leavin' today to my homeland, so far away
