Alabama and Pat Green

Born in San Antonio, TX, Pat Green is a Texas music legend known for blending traditional and modern country. With hits like "Wave on Wave" and three Grammy nods, he’s sold over 2 million albums. Collaborated with Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson, he's a staple in Texas music. His philanthropy and touring sustain his iconic status.

Alabama, formed by cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook, revived country bands in the late '70s with a blend of country and rock. The band, rooted in Alabama, gained fame with hits like "Tennessee River" and achieved 27 number-one singles in the '80s. They secured multiple awards and had seven multi-platinum albums. Alabama's signature sound and remarkable success, particularly with their seamless harmonies and crossover appeal, set a high bar in country music. Their influence continues, even after multiple reunions and the passing of band member Jeff Cook.
