"My Home's in Alabama" is a song written by Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry, and recorded by American country music band Alabama. It was released in January 1980 as the second single and title track from the album ''My Home's in Alabama''. In the years since its release, "My Home's in Alabama" became widely considered as the song that sparked the band's rise to eventual superstardom. ==Song history== The song, a biographical look at Alabama's early career, hopes and dreams, also pays homage to the roots of band members Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook. The lyrics state that, while bigger and better things lay ahead, their home would always be in Alabama, "no matter where I lay my head" and that they were "southern-born and southern-bred." Allmusic called the song "the closest thing to country rock" among the album's ten tracks. "My Home's in Alabama" was released in January 1980 by MDJ Records, a small independent label that had also released Alabama's first ''Billboard magazine'' Hot Country Singles Top 40 single, "I Wanna Come Over" in the fall of 1979. The success of "My Home's in Alabama" (and the prior song) earned the group an invitation to the "New Faces" show at the annual Country Radio Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. The resulting performance earned them a contract with RCA Records, to which they signed in April 1980. Both "I Wanna Come Over" and "My Home's in Alabama" were subsequently issued on the band's first album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Home's in Alabama (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
