Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3
(1997)

by
Various Artists
Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ...

Greatest Hits, Vol. 3
(1994)

by
Alabama
Like most country artists, Alabama made better singles than albums, rarely releasing a bad song for a single. Their third greatest-hits compilation collects their biggest and best hits of the late '80s and early '90s -- including "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)," "Tennessee River," "Angels Among Us," and "When We Make Love" -- making it a ...

Alabama
Ultimate Alabama: 20 #1 Hits covers the band's most commercially successful tracks spanning 1980 through 2000 including "Mountain Music," "Down Home," "Jukebox in My Mind," "Southern Star," and "There's No Way." Since the track listing is not in chronological order, the flow between ballads and up-tempo numbers is smooth. While you can't argue ...

This album began as a series of rehearsals for collaboration on ...

American Pride
(1992)
more music like this
by
Alabama
So much happened between Alabama's arrival on the scene and the country boom of the early '90s that by the time the band released American Pride, they were among the genre's aging veterans. As such it was a little late to expect big surprises. So everything that Alabama's known for is here: full-group harmonies, small-town Southern virtues and ...

Mountain Music

by
Alabama
On their third album, 1982's Mountain Music, Alabama hit their stride, streamlining the rough edges out of their sound and turning into a well-oiled hit machine. Here, when they stretch out it's on the nearly seven-minute "Changes Comin' On," which doesn't jam like Southern rock but instead has a smooth groove that veers close to soft rock. Of ...

Alabama
Like its predecessor, Alabama's Christmas, Vol. 2 is a pleasant mix of traditional holiday carols ("Little Drummer Boy," "O Little Town of Bethlehem"), and fine but undistinguished, original carols like "New Year's Eve 1999" and "Christmas in Your Arms." There's not much about Christmas, Vol. 2 for listeners that aren't already fans of the group, ...

Alabama
Highlighted by the perennial "Christmas in Dixie," Alabama Christmas is a collection of holiday tunes counting among one of Alabama's strongest records, seasonal or otherwise; although at times the material is overly sappy. There's no mistaking the group's affection for the project, and cuts like "Happy Holidays," "Tennessee Christmas," and "A ...

Songs of Inspiration

by
Alabama
By and large, 2006's Songs of Inspiration, Alabama's first foray into gospel music, is quiet and respectful, a record made with care and precision but certainly not without heart. The reverent tone may be reminiscent of Alan Jackson's spiritual album Precious Memories -- released eight months before Songs of Inspiration -- but where Jackson sought ...

From start to finish this album defies categorical classification. It employs the best of R&B, Afro-beat, folk, and blues while remaining true to the Blind Boys' gospel roots. And with a tasteful selection of material by Tom Waits, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and Ben Harper, in addition to their usual array of traditional gospel hymns and folk ...

Alabama
Two decades into their successful career, Alabama is comfortable as professionals. They know how to craft a record, even if that means relying on session musicians over the core band. They know how to select songs, knowing what songs will be ideal for radio. That means they're reliable, but it also means that they can slip into predictability, as ...

Alabama
Opening with the driving title track, 40 Hour Week encapsulates why Alabama was the top country group of the '80s. Alternating between restrained rockers and well-crafted ballads, it captures the band at its peak. Nevertheless, it isn't quite as strong as their first albums -- the performances and production are a bit too mannered -- but its ...

A charming video helped sell the way-cute title track, which offers another context for Alabama's down-home brand of nostalgia. Not to be overlooked, however, is "A Better Word for Love," a quiet, morning love song co-written by Gary Nicholson and former NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson. ~ Dan Cooper, All Music Guide
