Born Country: How Faith, Family, and Music Brought Me Home

by Randy Owen

Born Country: How Faith, Family, and Music Brought Me Home Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Randy Owen, the front man and lead vocalist for one of the biggest music groups of all time, was raised in rural Alabama, grew up working on a small sharecropper farm, and today lives on this same land that his family worked for generations. Born Country weaves together never-before-shared stories about life on the road with the legendary band Alabama, Randy's family, his experiences with temptation in the face of superstardom, and how he held on to his traditional Christian values through it all. Born Country is an inspiring story about how a poor country boy came to touch the lives of millions of fans.

Synopsis:

From the front man, and lead singer/songwriter of Alabama--the biggest country music group of all time--comes an inspiring memoir of faith, family, and living the American dream.

About the Author

For over twenty-five years Randy Owen was the front man and lead vocalist of Alabama, one of the most prolific groups in the history of music and the biggest country music group of all time. The band has had twenty-one gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums, forty-two number-one singles, and has sold more than 73 million albums. Alabama has received more than 150 industry awards, including eight country music Entertainer of the Year honors, two Grammys, two People's Choice Awards, and their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were named the Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music in 1989 and Country Group of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1999. In November 2005, Randy and his Alabama band mates received Country Music's highest honor when they were inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame. Randy's first solo album, One on One, is being released in November 2008 concurrent with the publication of this book.
