Alabama Releases First Album In 14 Years Today
Alabama released their first studio album in fourteen years today (Sept. 18). The band is in New York City to celebrate the release of Southern Drawl and will perform tonight at The Beacon Theater.
After taking a break from recording and touring for over a decade, the band was refreshed and ready to record again. “We are excited about this. We really put our hearts into it,” said lead singer Randy Owen.
Album standouts include “Wasn’t Through Lovin’ You Yet,” “American Farmer,” the rowdy “Hillbilly Wins The Lotto Money,” the heart-warming “I Wanna Be There,” and “Come Find Me,” featuring vocals by Alison Krauss.
The band recently received the Career Achievement Award at the ACM Honors at the historic Ryman Auditorium.
In all, the band has won 178 awards including Grammy® Awards, CMA Awards, ACM Awards and Billboard Awards. They’ve sold over 73 million albums and raised over $250 million for charity.
