"How Do You Fall In Love" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
In 1980, country bands that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs were almost unheard of. Enter Alabama. 58 million records later, they're still going strong, and this two-CD set collects every single one of their 41 (!) number one hits. The key to Alabama's success is their versatility--as FOR THE RECORD illustrates, they've recorded Southern rock raveups ("Tennessee River"), hard country ("Jukebox In My Mind"), slick pop ("Love In the First Degree") and love ballads ("Once Upon A Lifetime"), and all of them have hit number one.
Chalk it up to lead singer Randy Owen's distinctive, emotion-packed voice, the band's harmonies and their knack for choosing first-rate material. A quarter of this collection consists of Alabama's signature proud-to-be-from-Dixie anthems, like "Southern Star," "High Cotton" and "Born Country," but there's also a generous helping of their romantic numbers, like "Face to Face" and "Feels So Right." The band's flair for detailing the struggles of the everyday working Joe is illustrated in tracks like "40 Hour Week," "I'm In A Hurry" and "Roll On." And for fans who already have everything the band ever recorded, there are three new songs, including the outstanding ballad "How Do You Fall In Love."
