Alabama is most definitely country, they were HUGE in the 80’s….can y’all put their songs “Close enough to perfect and Lady down on love” on the list!!!
Alabama never disappoints. This is one of my favorites, but they're all kind of my favorite lol. And seriously? You can't really go wrong with a good ol' country boy with a beard.
Amber and Jay, One of my favorite songs of all time is Alabama's Feels So Right. It was a huge hit in the 80's. Since you like their softer side, I think you'll love it too.
You always can’t go wrong with Alabama! Love in the first degree, There’s no way (this one has a small orchestra), and 40 hour week(for a living) are my suggestions for future reactions. I woke up with a pocket full of smiles to share with everyone and a heart full of love for the robsquad family! ❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Alabama was probably the greatest country band of all time. They ruled the 80s and 90s with no serious competition. Love songs were their specialty. " Lady down on love " "She and I ", " Theres no Way" and their biggest one " Feels so Right" is a love MAKIN song. 😂😂 God bless yall from Ky
You should do 40 hour week, an anthem for us hard workers, or if your looking for something slow try Feels So Right. Both massive hits for Alabama. Thanks for ya alls reactions.
Love Alabama so much! Don’t want to make anyone jealous, but I got autographs and a kiss from both Teddy and Randy after a concert many years ago. My heart still flutters 🥰. RIP Jeff, never the same without you. I’d love to see you react to Angels Among Us, beautiful song.
Alabama is a country band and i love their sound! I’m from Huntsville, Alabama which is just northwest of Fort Payne, Al which is where they are from! I grew up listening to R&B, Funk, pop, rap, rock and country. Alabama is really good country! ❤❤
My first concert.....what a blast. Love all things Alabama even when they do gospel songs. Such a huge rabbit hole.....the whole 80s decade they were literally on top......crossover from country to pop with their good wholesome sound and lyrics 💜🕊️
I am so glad you are continuing your journey with Alabama. They have such a huge catalog of hits. If you want some more fiddle, I would suggest "Tennessee River". I don't think you have reacted to that one yet. I'm pretty sure you will love it.
I saw them in concert twice in the early 80's, back them they were a super group , they had a ton of hits and won a lot of awards year after year. They are one of the biggest selling Country Music Groups of all time.
Alabama is awesome!!! They are featured in "Forever Country" artists of then now and forever. Please give it a listen 🎶. Alabama and many many many Country artists are featured.
Hi Amber and J. The song that got me started on the music of Alabama is "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)". Almost 40 years later I still listen to Alabama. RIP Jeff. A couple other songs you might like are "Cheap Seats" and "Tar Top".
have loved them forever , went to see them in concert 4 times and everytime was just as great as the last . i grew up on their music and one of my very favorites is " Feels So Right " it will get you into trouble through lol . listen to it and you will see what i mean . thanks
The drummer's name was Mark Herndon. He was not an official member of Alabama, even though he played with them for something like 25 years. Randy Owens, Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry were all cousins and they are out of Fort Payne, Alabama. They were country superstars, won loads of awards (over 200), and were even named Artist of the decade for the 1980's. Great, talented band! Sounded as good live as the albums every time I saw them.
Randy and Teddy are throwing another June Jam this year. First time in 26 yrs. My late wife and I were huge fans and saw them a lot before they hit it big and a few times after that. my favorite song is "Lady Down on Love".
I generally hated country, but I liked a number of hits from Alabama. They made it into the Top 40 countdowns a lot in the early 80s, that's for sure. Good crossover appeal.
Hey Jay and Amber!!! I got news for ya. Alabama is a country band!! They were one of the most successful country music groups ever. And they are all cousins. One of them is no longer with us. The lead guitarist died fairly recently. They had a bunch of #1 songs and won the Grammy for best duo or group several years in a row!! They are awesome!!
Their music is why they won the CMA (Country Music Association) award for Entertainer Of the DECADE! Not just of the year, but of the entire decade (1980’s!)! If you want to hear a fifth “style” of their music, then you need to react to their song, “Lady Down on Love”.
"The Nashville Sound" was changing a little in the '80s, but Alabama is Country. I saw Alabama at the Scope in Norfolk VA. After the concert, the boys sat at a table and signed autographs for the fans until the last fan was through.
Definitely a country band. The three main members are cousins so that’s why it seems they are good buddies. Thats also why they have that sibling/family harmony. ❤️ them!
Wife here..Growing up in the 80's Looooved Alabama..., Always visited "The Bowery" on vacation in Myrtle Beach SC...Where they got started as the house band!!
Life long Alabama resident and fan here. I wish y’all would listen to some of their early music. Feels so Right, Love in the first Degree, Lady down on Love. And also Jeff Cook passed away about a month or so ago ( thought y’all might like to know). Love y’all’s channel.
Such great reactions to this wonderful song. Alabama has had the success they have due to their ability to have a wide variety of themes and style influences for their songs. If Alabama would of only did the same thing all the time - they probably wouldn't be who they are now with the success they have had.
Great classic song here! Thank you so much for the reaction! My father, who passed away in 2015 was a big fan of Alabama and I always loved their sound! Randy, Teddy and Jeff are cousins. The drummer was Mark Herndon. He is no longer in the band. Sadly Jeff passed away last fall after a battle with Parkinson’s.
Alabama's cover of the Carpenter's "Touch Me When We're Dancing" is one their best. Y'all should definitely react to it!! Alabama was the biggest country artist of the 80's. Everything they touched turned to gold
At 2:04 when Randy sings "there's something magic, the way that I feel, in your arms" you looked at each other. Can definitely see how much you 2 love each other and that's amazing. Love your reactions. I've mentioned it before, knowing how you like songs that tell a story, you would love Roll On by them.
The members of alabama are Drummer: Mark Herndon, Jeff cook on the left, Randy Owen in center, and Teddy Gentry on the right Side note: Cook, Owens and Gentry are Cousins.
The best-selling country group of All-Time. Definitely a country group thought they admit to being influenced by CCR. The drummer is Mark Herndon. A paid employee of the band that didn't enjoy the fruits as the other three. You couldn't be any hotter than they were in the early 80s. I saw them live 4 times during that period. A great show. I've not been more excited about a country band until Zac Brown Band came along 25 yrs later. They give me that same kind of vibe that makes them stand out from the rest.
You simply have to do 'Feels So Right'...and make sure it's the one listed as the official video, it has them on stage. My guess is Amber may never be the same!
Pretty sure they are generally seen as the greatest country band of all time. And when you look at the number of hits they had, especially the consecutive #1 hits they had in a row...I don't think it's really even close.
The drummer is Mark Herndon. He was part of Alabama for over 20 years being included in every video and every album cover. After their first farewell tour Randy Owen sued Mark for collecting his fair share of merchandise sales royalties. Randy claimed Mark was never a member of the Group and was just a paid employee.
Randy, Teddy, and Jeff are cousins. The drummers name is Mark Herndon. He was essentially a payed employee of the band, and not a true full member. He actually gave me one of his drumsticks as he was leaving the stage at a concert in 1986.
The Bowery is a small bar in Myrtle Beach, SC where Alabama got their start way back when 40 something years ago. The Bowery is referred to down here as the 8th Wonder of the World. It's still there if you ever get a chance to go by it. It's near where the old Pavillion used to stand. Jeff Cook just passed away last November. All my old faves are leaving this world and it's sad. Just glad they left us the music. The drummer was Mark Herndon and had a feud with the band for many years.
Mark Herndon is the drummer here. After meeting them all, he is my favorite. They had their issues later. But Mark Herndon WILL ALWAYS BE THE HEARTBEAT OF ALABAMA.
Mark Herndon was the drummer. Sadly they released him from the band. He was as they stated just an employee of the band. Teddy Jeff and Randy were all cousins if I remember correctly. I heard them in an interview and they asked Mark about playing on the albums and he said he didn’t know. In this interview they said they just laid down the vocals and studio musicians played the music on the albums and then they learned the music for the tours. As mark didn’t sing he was just a hired drummer for the videos and tours. I think he was asking for more money or royalties when they released him if I remember correctly.
When Christmas comes around…Thistlehair the Christmas Bear should be on your reaction list. It was a great break from the traditional Christmas songs. Your littles will love it too. Be Safe and Be Blessed.

Never gets old 💕💕💕

Old Flame is top tier

I've been requesting 40 Hour Week for awhile now. So glad to it in the comments 🥰
I tried and sent them an email to do that for Labor Day last year.
@@nickimontie mine too!
Love Alabama so much! Don’t want to make anyone jealous, but I got autographs and a kiss from both Teddy and Randy after a concert many years ago. My heart still flutters 🥰. RIP Jeff, never the same without you.

“Angels Among Us” by Alabama is a beautiful song
Alabama is a country band and i love their sound! I’m from Huntsville, Alabama which is just northwest of Fort Payne, Al which is where they are from! I grew up listening to R&B, Funk, pop, rap, rock and country. Alabama is really good country! ❤❤
Huntsville also.
@@zowiewowie4324 Huntsville here too!
@@zowiewowie4324 awesome!!🎉
@@bryanmoody7389 so cool!🎉
Love Fort Payne, Centre and Lookout Mtn. My best friend was from there.
"Take Me Down" and "Love in the First Degree" was their other two big crossover hits in the early 80's. My favorite era of the band.
My first concert.....what a blast. Love all things Alabama even when they do gospel songs. Such a huge rabbit hole.....the whole 80s decade they were literally on top......crossover from country to pop with their good wholesome sound and lyrics 💜🕊️
My first concert was at the county fair. Crystal Gayle, Tom T Hall, Eddie Rabbit and Alabama.
@@russellrofe4849 bet that was so much fun. We were at the Omni in ATL and Juice Newton opened for them
Not my first, but definitely an act that I've seen the most. Probably 15 times or more!
My first too! Great memory with my parents.
Alabama never made a bad song. RIP to Jeff Cook.
Next one should be “love in the first degree” love the harmonies in that one
I am so glad you are continuing your journey with Alabama. They have such a huge catalog of hits. If you want some more fiddle, I would suggest "Tennessee River". I don't think you have reacted to that one yet. I'm pretty sure you will love it.
Owens, Cook, and Gentry are cousins. That's why you get that harmony! Herndon's drum skills are awesome! 🥰
I saw them in concert twice in the early 80's, back them they were a super group , they had a ton of hits and won a lot of awards year after year. They are one of the biggest selling Country Music Groups of all time.
“Feels so right” is my favorite Alabama song
ALABAMA WAS GREAT LOVE ALL THIER SONGS FROM THE 80S ON ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRY BANDS EVER LOVE IT
Alabama is awesome!!! They are featured in "Forever Country" artists of then now and forever. Please give it a listen 🎶. Alabama and many many many Country artists are featured.
Alabama played on pop and country stations at the same time. They were everywhere!!💕💕💕
I'm not really into Country, but I could listen to these Alabama boys all day long! Loved them since 1980.
Hi Amber and J. The song that got me started on the music of Alabama is "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)". Almost 40 years later I still listen to Alabama. RIP Jeff. A couple other songs you might like are "Cheap Seats" and "Tar Top".
Alabama ruled the country music awards in 80's. They are more up beat country then most! And I believe their music has stood the test of time!
have loved them forever , went to see them in concert 4 times and everytime was just as great as the last . i grew up on their music and one of my very favorites is " Feels So Right " it will get you into trouble through lol . listen to it and you will see what i mean . thanks

Had a Gr8 time at June Jam in I believe 1991. What a show
Great memories from June Jam ‘94 and ‘95 in Ft. Payne. Roll Tide 🐘
They are country. I was never into country music but i REALLY liked these guys. I'm Lovin' it!
I generally hated country, but I liked a number of hits from Alabama. They made it into the Top 40 countdowns a lot in the early 80s, that's for sure. Good crossover appeal.
Likewise. Not much for listening to Country in my teenage years, but I absolutely loved listening to Alabama and later Garth Brooks!
There's a reason why they won a lot of awards...you can put Alabama on replay and not get tired of it....their Great!
Hey Jay and Amber!!! I got news for ya. Alabama is a country band!! They were one of the most successful country music groups ever. And they are all cousins. One of them is no longer with us. The lead guitarist died fairly recently. They had a bunch of #1 songs and won the Grammy for best duo or group several years in a row!! They are awesome!!
"Feels so right" and "Angels among us" are both really good songs that I think you'll both really enjoy.
The quintessential Alabama song to me is "My Home is Alabama" takes me back to a 8-tack in 1980
So happy you are getting back to Alabama!!! Lady Down on Love is so beautiful and heartbreaking....you'll love it.
They had 50, #1 hit singles during their career.
not a bad run 50 #1 hits not bad at all!
I've been to 60+ concerts and Alabama was by far the Best live 🙌
I've been to tons of concerts too, and Alabama are among the best. No such thing as band Alabama concert!
Alabama is just plain AWESOME!
Alabama and INXS were the best live bands I've seen.
"FEELS SO RIGHT" BY THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their music is why they won the CMA (Country Music Association) award for Entertainer Of the DECADE! Not just of the year, but of the entire decade (1980’s!)! If you want to hear a fifth “style” of their music, then you need to react to their song, “Lady Down on Love”.
"Feel so Right" and "Old Flame" are a couple more from Alabama you should check out.
I love the Lionel Richie, Alabama collaboration, "Deep River Woman",what a vocal treat
Feels So Right is another great song from Alabama...very romantic🔥💕
"The Nashville Sound" was changing a little in the '80s, but Alabama is Country.
I saw Alabama at the Scope in Norfolk VA. After the concert, the boys sat at a table and signed autographs for the fans until the last fan was through.

Alabama is the best ...u need to hear Love In the First degree..it's Awesome!
Loooooove Alabama! Could listen to them everyday. They don't make county like this anymore
LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE. GREAT
Alabama had a duet with Lionel Richie in the mid 80s. The song was called Deep River Woman. It was a big hit on the Country charts.
"Close Enough to Perfect" and "Old Flame" are two musts, but Alabama never had a bad song.
two more of my favorities
Alabama might be my favorite Country group.
Life long Alabama resident and fan here. I wish y’all would listen to some of their early music. Feels so Right, Love in the first Degree, Lady down on Love. And also Jeff Cook passed away about a month or so ago ( thought y’all might like to know). Love y’all’s channel.
"Closer You Get" and "Take Me Down" were written by, and first recorded by Exile in 1980. The band who sang, "Kiss You All Over".
You can never go wrong with music by Alabama. My faves are Mountain Music and Love in the First Degree.
they helped define the prime country era....this song was a radio staple.
Speaking Of Alabama,, Big Mama Thorton + Janis Joplin = Alabama Shakes "Don't Wanna Fight" (Live From Capitol Studio A)..A MUST HEAR..TRUTH!!
The BEST country group EVER!!! I wish I’d been to their concerts more than the SIX times I’ve been!!!
Originally released by the rock band, Exile. About a year Alabama released this, Exile converted to a country band! RIP Jeff Cook
Feels so Right by Alabama you guys will love
Was not uncommon in the early 80’s to hear an Alabama song on a rock station.. outstanding group
Such great reactions to this wonderful song. Alabama has had the success they have due to their ability to have a wide variety of themes and style influences for their songs. If Alabama would of only did the same thing all the time - they probably wouldn't be who they are now with the success they have had.
Gotta check out the song " My home's in Alabama"...one of my favorites!!
Great classic song here! Thank you so much for the reaction! My father, who passed away in 2015 was a big fan of Alabama and I always loved their sound! Randy, Teddy and Jeff are cousins. The drummer was Mark Herndon. He is no longer in the band. Sadly Jeff passed away last fall after a battle with Parkinson’s.

They were winning all the awards in the 80s. I saw them live. It was great.
Love in the first degree is a must
Alabama is good, have great harmonies. Another band I like with great harmonies is Shenandoah. You guys should check them out.
40 hr week is a great song
I grew up listening to Alabama. 🥰It reminds me of childhood, my mom and dad...just good times!! 🙌❤️
They had a sound that appealed to both country and pop/rock. I think that is what made them so successful.
Couldn't even begin to count how many times my wife and I danced to this song and all of Alabama's music!
At 2:04 when Randy sings "there's something magic, the way that I feel, in your arms" you looked at each other. Can definitely see how much you 2 love each other and that's amazing.
Love your reactions.
I've mentioned it before, knowing how you like songs that tell a story, you would love Roll On by them.
"Why Lady Why" by Alabama is a must listen. Amber will swoom.
Alabama weren't just a great country band. They were one of the greatest bands of the 80s period.
Three words. Feels So Right. Listen to it.
The members of alabama are Drummer: Mark Herndon, Jeff cook on the left, Randy Owen in center, and Teddy Gentry on the right
Side note: Cook, Owens and Gentry are Cousins.
Randy Owen sounds like a natural born singer. The band allows their voices to be their main instrument. Dixieland Delight is my favorite Alabama song.
The best-selling country group of All-Time. Definitely a country group thought they admit to being influenced by CCR. The drummer is Mark Herndon. A paid employee of the band that didn't enjoy the fruits as the other three. You couldn't be any hotter than they were in the early 80s. I saw them live 4 times during that period. A great show. I've not been more excited about a country band until Zac Brown Band came along 25 yrs later. They give me that same kind of vibe that makes them stand out from the rest.
They were one of the top country bands in the 80s all kinds of hits you have just scratched the surface!
You simply have to do 'Feels So Right'...and make sure it's the one listed as the official video, it has them on stage. My guess is Amber may never be the same!
i agree . i hope my husband will always feel that way about me
Please check out Brad Paisley - Old Alabama. It features Alabama and is kind of a tribute to them. Do the official video.
Great song
Excellent suggestion! I loved seeing them perform together. It was amazing
And I really liked how alot of Alabama's song titles were in the lyrics
You need to do Alabama; "Angels among us" next. 😇
They had so many hits and won so many awards.
Also 2 of the best Christmas albums ever made.
Pretty sure they are generally seen as the greatest country band of all time. And when you look at the number of hits they had, especially the consecutive #1 hits they had in a row...I don't think it's really even close.
The drummer is Mark Herndon. He was part of Alabama for over 20 years being included in every video and every album cover.
After their first farewell tour Randy Owen sued Mark for collecting his fair share of merchandise sales royalties. Randy claimed Mark was never a member of the Group and was just a paid employee.
I can’t remember if y’all did Love in the First Degree or not, but it’s another favorite. Love me some Alabama! ❤

They are the most successful xountry group of all time. Something like 40 top 10 hits or something like that. Awesome group!
Mark Herndon is the drummer here. After meeting them all, he is my favorite. They had their issues later. But Mark Herndon WILL ALWAYS BE THE HEARTBEAT OF ALABAMA.
I see what you did there.
Alabama won Album of the Year (The Closer You Get), Vocal Group of the Year and CMA/ACM Entertainer of the Year in 1983
Alabama is a phenomenal band. So many great songs
