The biggest group in country music history had far too many hit singles in the 1970s and '80s to fit on a single compilation. However, the budget-line 16 BIGGEST HITS does an excellent job of picking only the very best of the best, highlighted by the smash-hit ballad "The Closer You Get" and the joyous "Mountain Music." This collection is an excellent and inexpensive introduction for the casual fan.
Tracklist
Alabama
The most successful country band of the 1980s and '90s, Alabama are notable for the fact that they ARE a band; before their advent in the late '70s, the idea of a self-contained mainstream country group was almost unheard of. Hailing from Ft. Payne, Alabama, the group parlayed its mix of country, pop, and Southern rock into 20 years of chart success, including a record-breaking string of over 40 number-one country hits. Along the way, Alabama blazed a trail followed by subsequent country/pop bands like Restless Heart, Diamond Rio and Lonestar.
