"Sometimes I don't know if it's me or it's him doing the teaching, but I've been thinking maybe he's here for a reason." (Here For A Reason / Connie Harrington, Tim Nichols, Ryan Larkins)
The band Alabama has probably been the most influental musical act in my life and responsible for converting me to country music for good. Their slight rock and pop influences created a whole new vibe for country music and as we know, they were the first (at least successful) self contained country band; meaning they played all their instruments themselves, even during recordings most of the time. At live shows, they were not merely singing like successful groups such as the Oak Ridge Boys or the Statler Brothers had done before them, but as a band they were also playing their own instruments.
"Well, my label [Big Loud] just sent me the ‘You Proof’ video and they wanna wait til Monday to drop the video, but I really don’t, so here’s the link [ unlisted youtube-link on the day before the official video release]." (Morgan Wallen / Instagram-Story, September 9, 2022)
