DEDICATED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE MOUNTAIN MUSIC MEMORIES ALABAMA FAN GROUP

Long before country music crowned him a legend, Randy Owen stood barefoot on Lookout Mountain soil, cradling a guitar and a gospel-soaked dream. What sent his career into the stratosphere wasn't sorcery or slick deals—it was soul. Raw, unpolished, unapologetically Southern soul.

 

Folks like to whisper when someone rises that fast.

 

Did Randy make a pact with the devil? Definitely, not! What he made was a pact with the people—those who heard their own stories in his voice, those who saw their values reflected in his quiet strength. When Alabama dropped "My Home’s in Alabama", the air shifted. It wasn’t just a song; it was a rally cry wrapped in steel guitar and sincerity. This is the story of how fame came roaring, and how Randy answered without selling an ounce of who he was--now over 50 years later.

 

Hope you enjoy...

 

Respectfully yours,

Ken
