  • This discribes my grandma. She lived in Arkansas in an ol' rundown house with 1 sister and 4 brothers on a cotton farm. She started to help work the farm when she was 3 and when she turned 14 she came up to St. Louis to make a living. Now shes not rich but she has a lot of money from being a plumber! We always go down and visit her siblings and that ol' cotton farm who made her who she is today.

  • 7 people don't know anything about hard times!

  • I agree, All good music like this. Should not be forgetten. These were the days when people had real talent. Better than the Modern Noise they make today. I have been a Dj for quite a while and heard tons of music that isn't worth a damn! But that's just my opinion.

  • @Stevetaylor10001 Wow. You think maybe since so many people are against you that they might be right? Oh, and your "racism" in the South happened a couple of decades ago for the most part. Some of it still happens, but not as much. Take your American hating comments and throw them out the window. You said the South was bad? The North did a hell of a lot to. Check the history books. If you don't know shit, don't say it! SHUT THE HELL UP AND TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

  • South Holds this Country Together. Their True Blue Americans.

    Now after many states in the South, we live out in Cali.

    "Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced"!!!

  • @AK74inCali I feel your pain. Born and raised in the Great South. Was forced to move up north to Missouri, or as I like to call it, "misery". Long live the South!

  • thats is good music,no more about it

  • i fuckn hate vevo...

  • @JohnDeere30201

    There is nothing wrong with Colt Ford!! I bet you like Jason Aldean's song Dirt Road Anthem,well guess where that came from???? Colt Ford!! That's right!! There are all forms of country music just because he raps his music doesn't make not country!!!

  • @TheJessefenner .......that was pretty retarded....just sayin.

  • I live in Alabama, I like this group but the are from fort payne close to Georgia but sing about Tennessee more than Alabama The Tennessee Valley is long and I live in the Valley but I dont want to sing about Tennessee I want to sing about Blount County, CULLMAN County and Wheeler lake roll tide

  • hay ya nothin is wrong wit colt ford

  • Anybody know what kind of car they are driving?

  • @Nascarpro203 the is a cadilac logo right on the front of it, as for year im not sure but its got to be late 1940s

  • @mustang633NY **there** not the.... oops

  • I listened to ALABAMA since 1980 and i,m 40 now.I listened to them because they where more pop than what was called country on the radio at that time.ie George Jones,Kenny Rogers etc. I have news paper clipings that say Alabama is to rock for country.Now they are concidered country and Rascal flatts, Taylor Swift to rock for country.Whats it going to be like 10 years from now.(Colt Ford) Think about it.

  • My Grandpa had this song on his Jukebox. It was a 45 record. RIP Grandpa 01-06-2006

  • Brad Paisley should be thanked for putting Alabama back in the spotlight.

  • @youbestbequiet No..people who like Legit country music already know who Alabama is......

  • @comicpilot the south will rise again just give it time; it will come around

  • @youbestbequiet im 16 and i listen to george jones,alabama,cash,twitty, no matter what old school is better then the new

  • to all the people saying no new country is good have you ever listened to in color by jamey johnson?

  • @MegaDanbo That's true, Jamey Johnson is very talented. There are still really good mainstream country artists out there. People just classify all "new" and "mainstream" country all into one, and say it sucks. I personally will listen to anything Jamey Johnson, new Alan Jackson, and hell I like guys like Billy Currington and Blake Shelton's new songs. Eric Church too! There is a lot of good new mainstream country out there!

  • @mizzsoccergirl99 randy owen, teddy gentry, jeff cook, and mark herndon

  • @mizzsoccergirl99 Look it up? They have google for a reason, lol.

  • @j12di no reason to be harsh bro just a question

  • @bignicklawson91 I don't mean to be, if you think I am..I'm just saying look it up, whats the point of saying your age? o_O

  • love the song its awsome

  • I wish it was ole days not know power,tv,and shower with heat water. I will miss it and never forget it.

  • The three that dislike this song must have fell in the cotton lol

  • I am 18 and I absolutely love both old and new country. It is possible to remember and appreciate what started country while still enjoying a more modern version of it.

  • Im 29 years old now, i remember mom and dad used to play the heck out of alabama when i was a child, and the music has stuck with me ever since, sad todays country dont sound like country, talentless autotuned crap.

  • @sabotage427 Agreed, real country shouldn't have electric guitars and sound like rock, should sound like real country!

  • What year is that chevy he is driving?

  • @ASovietTinCan late 50s early 60s if it was early 50s itd be a manual transmission, but hes driving an automatic

  • true country... heart felt songs.

  • 3 people had shitty childhoods.

  • haahahhaahahahaha them boys were lookin at playboy magazine hahaha

  • why would you play music as a commercial before i get to listen to the song i requested?

  • I love this music im 16 and i love Fiddlin John Carson, Earl Scruggs, Stringbean, Alan Jackson, Johnny Rebel, David Allan Coe, Hank Jr. and Sr. Love original and some moderner music but mostly country

  • While having no power during the tornadoes here in Alabama, this was the best song that was played at the time

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

    Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

  • @MrSkottyboy1 Remember when you didn't understand that money ruled the world? Yea....

  • I'm Not A Big Fan Of Country But I Love This Song!

  • all these years I never realized George Lucas was the lead singer for Alabama. ha ha

  • that '57 caddy is so awsome

  • @89s10lvr- '50-'53 caddy

  • fuck taylor swift

  • tim mcgraw had some good music in his ealier days just not anymore but yeah fuck taylor swift

  • ppl you don't have to be born and raised in the south to love country i'm from Washington and it is all i listen to.

  • i'm from the north but my whole family is the from the SOUTH and we spent every vacation either in arkansas or tenn, or va. now i live in fla. my heart has always been southern. i was raised on country music and i love the old country music.

  • how in the hell is this right a JLO video on vevo on an Alabama video. what in world is going on?

  • around 20sec into the vid kinda reminds me of Bristol TN

  • I like a whole lot of different kinds of music including hank Sr. and todays's country I just mention them because I'm from NY and not from the country either but that don't mean I can't recognize good music when I hear it or listen to a lot of different music too I don't know if all country southerns know it or not but there's huge areas of country up north too and of course the west got north and south both beat and also the south is full of big cities today this ain't 1900 anymore

  • Being born in the south this song just speaks to me.

    Life in the county is amazing!

  • this song means a lot to me cause it reminds me of my father and grandfather in the 50s picking cotton for a livin YES THEY WERE WHITE AND PICKED COTTON

  • @Southernjuggalo63 What does Juggalo mean?

    

  • Dont like him but Tim Mcgraw is far from new country

  • Conway Twitty was a legend too now should definitely be included the upper post. The man had a golden voice and was very talented.

  • waylon said it right, you can hear the grand ole opry in nashville tennessee, its the home of country music on that we all agree but when you cross that old red river hoss that just don't mean a thing cause once you're down in texas bob wills is still the king.

  • i was raised on this music n ill always love old country music

  • BOYCOTT Tim McGraw the Democrat...he donated thousands of dollars to Obama's presidential campaign

    THanks for helping to ruin America, Tim.

  • @Southernfarmer1021 I never new that about McGraw. He truly did help ruin America.

  • @Weir015 Tim has also sought support from Bill Clinton to try and run for political office

  • @white98cummins Wait... Tim McGraw wanted to run for political office?

  • im only 16 but i love how alot of the 80's and 90's country were about normal everyday people hard working loving kind people :) i miss them days

  • @boobiesman10. Fuck you, Tim Mcgraw is awesome.

  • I just listened to this song over a 100 times literarly!

  • Let us not forget C.W. McCall and John Denver. Alabama, it will be a dream to see a new artist try n sing with that same ol down home country boy feeling. It is way cool to see that Brad honored them in his new song, "Play me some old Alabama".

  • THE OLD GUARD: Willie, Jones, Tammy, Waylon, Merle, Cash, Coe, Hank Jr.

    THE MIDDLE GUARD: Alabama, George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, Brooks & Dunn, John Anderson, Alan Jackson

    THE NEW GUARD: There is none.

  • High Cotton, Song of the South, When it all goes South, If you're gonna play in Texas, Down Home, Pass it on Down, definitely some of my favorites :)
