Album
For the Record is a two-disc, 44-track greatest hits package released by the American country music band Alabama. The album chronicles the biggest hits from Alabama released between 1980 and 1998. The lineup includes all 33 of their Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks No. 1 singles, as well as other songs which reached number one on the former Radio & Records now Mediabase charts each of the non-Billboard No. 1 hits made the top 5 on that chart. Listen free to Alabama For The Record Five O'Clock 500, Keepin' Up and more. 44 tracks 162:49. Spanning two discs and two decades, For the Record contains nearly every great song Alabama recorded, plus three new tunes. If any single album provides definitive proof as to why Alabama is the most popular country band of all time, this is it - they make this appealingly polished, hook-heavy, radio-ready mainstream pop sound easy as pie. Alabama epitomizes the term people's band. Never a critics' favorite, the quartet from Fort Payne, Alabama, presents slick, sentimental songs that unerringly catch the ear of fans yet mystify those who don't hear the appeal. This two-CD career retrospective, which presents all 41 of the group's No. 1 hits, underlines just how successful they've been. Some might argue about Alabama's artistic value, but the band's 18-year track record offers a convincing retort. Michael McCall.
