Old Alabama
"Old Alabama" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Brad Paisley, featuring guest vocals from the band Alabama. It was released in March 2011 as second single from Paisley's 2011 album '' This Is Country Music''. Content When writing the song, Paisley thought that the bridge to Alabama's 1982 single " Mountain Music" would fit well with the song. Instead of sampling that song, he asked Alabama band members Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry to join him in the studio and record a piece of it. Paisley wrote the song with Owen, Dave Turnbull and Chris DuBois. "Old Alabama" incorporates into its lyrics the titles of several of Alabama's classic songs, including " Why Lady Why," "Tennessee River," "Feels So Right," " Love in the First Degree" and "Dixieland Delight."
