'Country First, Crossover Second'

'In a span of 50 years, you might not end the way you begin. However, Alabama never forgot its roots. The band began from humble beginnings. Once it was offered a contract with a major music label, the band paved the way for others in the genre. On this special milestone, the band is celebrating something truly special. In the beginning, the group focused on country music. Rock and pop sounds were added later. In the 1980s, the band added elements of rock concerts to its performances. It helped Alabama to reach markets beyond country audiences. It also helped with the group's popularity. When demand for the band slowed in the 1990s, Alabama still released hit singles. The group disbanded in 2003; however, in 2010, Alabama began to collaborate and produce reunion tours. Now, 50 years later, the group is showing audiences that it still has the magic that caught the eye of the music industry.'
