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.

GD Song, song of the South, C Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth. GD Gone, gone with the wind, C Ain't nobody lookin' back again. GD Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch, C we all picked cotton but we never got rich. GD Daddy was a vetern southern democrat, C they oughta get a rich man to vote like that.......(singin')
(Chorus)
GD Well somebody told us that Wall Street fell, C but we were so poor that we couldn't tell. GD Cotton was short and the weeds were tall, C but Mr. Roosevelt was gonna save us all.
(Chorus)
GD Well momma got sick and daddy got down, C the county got the farm and we moved to town. GD Papa got a job with the TVA, C he bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet.
