Alabama is an All-American country / southern rock band, originally formed in 1969 founded by Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry, and Randy Owen. The band’s style, blending traditional country music, southern rock, and elements of gospel and pop music led to massive crossover success, resulting in over 75 million albums and singles sold. The band did their farewell tour in 2003, and reunited in 2011. The current line-up of Alabama (Cook, Gentry, and Owen) has been rolling full steam ahead ever since, arranging the Bama Rising concert in 2011 to benefit homes / businesses affected by tornados in their home state, touring in support of their 40th anniversary in 2014, and releasing the Alabama & Friends tribute album, encompassing duets with newer artists such as Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line.
