As the lead singer of the legendary group Alabama, Randy Owen would appear to have seen and done it all – 73 million albums sold, countless miles on the road touring, a warehouse full of awards and a coveted spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Yet this singer/songwriter/ entertainer/rancher embarked on a new path in 2008 – a solo career with a new album One On One, his memoirs “Born Country,” a national tour with a 10-piece band and an attitude and work ethic that rivals a brand new artist.

“I’m as excited about this as I’ve ever been,” said Owen. “Before I decided to do the solo thing, we put a band together and did some dates late last year to see if the fans were still out there. When I came back I was totally convinced we needed to do this.”
