Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable. Today’s Single Of The Day is a 1993 near-number one for the legendary Alabama.
Amazing career for Randy Owens and company, after taking the Country music world by storm in 1980. They were fixtures on the Country 40 for the next twenty years, scoring no less than sixty-six Country 40 appearances, with fifty-two appearances in the top ten, and thirty-two at number one. It’s easy to see why they are already in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
Today’s single, released through RCA, was their fortieth Country 40 appearance. ”Born Country” made it’s debut in January, 1992, and would make it as high as two on the charts. It’s standard Alabama music, a strong Country feel, with a tinge of Rock mixed in, though not as apparent, here. A strong composition and the typically great vocal presence.
Your thoughts?
Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
