About
Before Alabama came along, country was all about solo artists. Albums like this proved how fresh and exciting a self-contained country band could sound. And with crossover pop hits as undeniably catchy as the LP’s title track, it was like country finally had its own Beatles. It didn’t hurt that Alabama were so versatile—they could rip out a rugged, country-rocking cover of Creedence’s swampy “Green River” one moment and deliver a thoughtful social statement like “Changes Comin’ On” the next—without breaking a sweat.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Indianapolis pressing variant is very similar to Mountain Music (US 1982) (opens in a new tab) with a space/gap after producer credits on both labels, except this variant the Side 1 tracks are listed on 7 lines (not 6).
No 'Randy's Roost' etching in the runouts.
Recorded and mixed at Music Mill, Nashville, Tennessee. Mastered at Randy's Roost, Nashville, Tennessee.
Runout side A, variant 7 - all etched except for "A 4 4" which is stamped with the first "4" crossed out. Side B, variant 7 - all etched except for "441" which is stamped and crossed out, and "B 1" which is stamped. The "I" on side B is stamped sideways.
The back of the album cover is rotated 90° clockwise from the front cover (the writing is "sideways" except for the cat#, UPC, and RCA).
