About Alabama
Alabama began as Wildcountry, a band formed by Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry and Randy Owen in Fort Payne, Alabama. Their Southern touring mixed country-pop with rock, and the group adopted the Alabama name in 1977. Mark Herndon subsequently joined on drums. An RCA deal followed in 1980, leading to recordings including Tennessee River and Mountain Music alongside an extensive live career.
