What an incredible group. Forty-hour Week, Song of the South... many others.

One of my favorites is Southern Star: Alabama - Southern Star

I hope this message and song blesses your life the way it has mine.

When I refer to the band, I’m referring to the singers and musicians. When I’m speaking of the group, I’m referring specifically to Randy, Teddy, and Jeff.

You sound like a miserable frick, but thank you for your pointless contribution.

Never was a huge Fan, but I liked some of their songs. I met Randy at a cattle auction once, and he was a nice enough guy. Had their Drummer Mark Herndon, play on some demos that I did years ago, he was really cool and really a hell of a drummer.

Friend,

Have you been to their museum in Fort Payne, where the current members now live? It is, to put it mildly, an interesting experience. The museum opens with a stained glass window of all the original members except one who was expelled.

If you do go, be sure to eat at the nearby Western Sizzlin'. Truly a great steakhouse of Alabama.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

They were the first concert I ever attended with my grandparents. After my grandfather passed we found a ticket stub with my name on it in a keepsake box. I think I was 4 years old.

That being said I never really put them on but I really like some of their songs. Iirc 2 tribute albums came out several years ago. One was very mainstream country (Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean etc) and one was more altcountry (Jason Isbell, Turnpike Troubadours, Lucero).

That's a cool story. I went to a couple of The June Jams in Ft.Payne. Those were pretty awesome. 3 days, and every country act who was anybody, would be there. Crowds of 60,000 people or more.

They were my first concert as well, at the Alexandria coliseum. Late 80s I believe.

my grandfather owned partial interest in a few bulls with Randy back in the day.
got to meet him and his family quite a few times.
His wife is one of the nicest most genuine people you will ever meet.
