american farewell tourNever heard a songs by Alabama I don't like. Love alabama all there songs on this album are great.
Alabama Country
My two favorites are #8 "Down Home" and #10 "Give Me One More Shot". This CD is full of wonderful country songs.
"Down Home" - Even though these guys are talking about their home in Alabama, it reminds me of my own country home. It is a beautiful country song.
"Give Me One More Shot" - (They are talking about a shot of life - not a shot of whiskey. ) This song is upbeat, positive, and encouraging. It gives a wonderful message. I love it - both the words and the music.
"The Fans" (#13) literally gives me goose bumps. It is a beautiful, sweet, touching song. Another goose bumper is #20, "My Home's In Alabama".
There are so many other wonderful country songs on this CD, such as "Christmas in Dixie", "Song of the South", "High Cotton", and "Dixieland Delight". This isn't near all of them. There are so many terrific country songs on this one CD.
I've never met Alabama, and have never talked to them. But I've talked to people from Ft Payne who do know them, and they all say the same thing: that the guys are wonderful down-home country folk. I think the content of their music also tells a story about who they are. I am definitely a fan of this wonderful country music - both the words and the music.
SUCKERED AGAIN!!!!
Well they suckered me. This is the LAST "LIVE" ALBUM I WILL EVER BUY!!!!!! Where's the live part? I already own all the studio versions of these songs!!!! Shame on Alabama for duping their fans in this manner!! STAY RETIRED ALREADY! No doubt their marketing department felt they could dupe fans into thinking they were buying a live album by putting in such a duplicitous name like "American Farewell Tour". For the LAST time, I assure you.
Not Live
Good collection from a great band, but if you're a fan, you've probably got every single song on here, and were disappointed that it was not indeed live. The cd itself does not say live, BUT, it IS advertised that way and the copy I bought, did have the additional sticker on the front that DID advertise it as LIVE. . . Pretty shady marketing. . . probably no fault of the group, but still deceptive.
Farewell Boys....you'll be missed.
It's their Farewell Tour album. The title says it all. By producing this album they allow a different variety of songs on one album for their fans. If you didn't get to go to any of their shows on the Farewell Tour, then you wouldn't realize that the songs on this album are songs that they sung on this specific tour. That's why the title says American Farewell Tour. Nowhere does it's a live cd. Please stop your complaining and give my Boys the respect they deserve.
