And while Music Row likes to mix and match cute faces, good voices and backing session talent, Alabama entered the market as a cohesive band which, in the rock tradition, wrote, recorded and toured as a unit.
Most importantly, Alabama borrowed freely from ZZ Top, The Outlaws, The Eagles, Pure Prairie League and more of the country-inspired rock that Nashville had long rejected as not country enough.
