Reservoir Inks Deal For Alabama’s Recorded Music Rights Catalog
Alabama
Reservoir Media, Inc. has signed a deal with country supergroup Alabama for the group’s interest in its recorded music rights catalog.
The most awarded band in the history of country music with over 200 honors, Alabama has sold over 75 million albums, have 11 No. 1 Billboard country albums, and 33 No. 1 Billboard country singles. Members Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook landed seven multi-Platinum albums and over 27 No. 1 hits during the ’80’s, including “Love in the First Degree” (1981), “Mountain Music” (1982), “Dixieland Delight” (1983), “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)” (1984), and “Song of the South” (1988).
While still actively recording and touring, Alabama’s musical contributions have been recognized with inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame, three Grammy Awards, RIAA’s Country Group of the Century, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, among countless others.
“Alabama is hands down the most successful band in country music history,” says Reservoir EVP of Creative John Ozier. “The records they have broken will likely never be replicated in any genre of music and it is a true honor to welcome their works to our Reservoir family.”
“Bringing the music of a legendary group like Alabama to Reservoir is an affirmation of our strategy to continue building on our recorded music catalog, and to do so with such undeniably classic songs is incredibly meaningful to us,” adds Reservoir Founder and CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi.
