In Pictures
Performer: Alabama
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Producers include: Harold Shedd, Larry McBride, Alabama, Josh Leo, Larry Michael Lee. Compilation producer: Steve Lindsey. Digitally remastered by Glenn Meadows (Masterfonics, Nashville, Tennessee). Alabama changed the course of pop music history. Their mixture of Southern rock, country, and gospel gave them a distinct sound that, even today, remains inimitable. SUPER HITS documents the songs that Alabama made popular in the 1980's. Among them we hear mellow ballads "Feels So Right" and "There's No Way," as well as uptempo country rockers like "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)," and their famous "The Closer You Get." Themes of love gained, love lost, and archetypal images of rural America are distilled in the music's lyrics. Period love songs such as "Love In the First Degree" and "Forever As Far As I'll Go" are both featured here. Logically, Alabama's homage to their home state (and their biggest hit) "My Home's In Alabama" kicks off this very worthwhile compilation.
The most successful country band of the 1980s and '90s, Alabama are notable for the fact that they ARE a band; before their advent in the late '70s, the idea of a self-contained mainstream country group was almost unheard of. Hailing from Ft. Payne, Alabama, the group parlayed its mix of country, pop, and Southern rock into 20 years of chart success, including a record-breaking string of over 40 number-one country hits. Along the way, Alabama blazed a trail followed by subsequent country/pop bands like Restless Heart, Diamond Rio and Lonestar.
