EXTD=s (Huntington, WV United States)\nMountain Music offers what Alab
EXTD=ama is famous for, great music and great harmony all packaged tog
EXTD=ether. The title cut is great, that harmonica and "old man of the

EXTD=ny man sings that song to his lady, she is his forever. The cuten
EXTD=ess of "Never Be One" also reminds us of the sadness that our chi

EXTD=OUNTAIN MUSIC combines pop rock with country in a very distinctiv

EXTD= that originated with the Eagles and Poco has been kept alive rec
EXTD=ently by such groups as the Larry Gathn Band, the Oak Ridge Boys 
EXTD=and Alabama. All of these outfits are more adept at country than 
EXTD=rock, and of the three, Alabama is currently the most successful 
EXTD=-- and the least interesting. While lead singer Randy Owen has a 
EXTD=pleasant voice and the emotional directness of Merle Haggard, and
EXTD= while some of the tunes on Mountain Music feature charged electr
EXTD=ic-guitar duels, Alabama lacks the solid adherence to roots that 
EXTD=would give their good-time songs some substance. Their most attra
EXTD=ctive numbers, such as the title song of Mountain Music, sound an
EXTD= awful lot like TV jingles. And all too often they settle for lug
EXTD=ubrious pop schlock ("Close Enough to Perfect," "Never Be One") t
