Once a Quartet, Now a Duo — Alabama’s Journey From Four Brothers of Harmony to Two Guardians of Memory

Ever get told your music taste is a little old-fashioned? If it’s because you’re listening to Alabama, then take it as the highest compliment. Once, they were four — Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, Jeff Cook, and Mark Herndon — a brotherhood that carried the sound of small-town dreams into country music history. Now, only Randy and Teddy remain, standing as living links to a harmony that shaped generations. Songs like “Mountain Music” and “Dixieland Delight” are more than memories; they’re echoes of voices that once rose together as one. Alabama may be two today, but the spirit of four still sings every time their music plays.
