  • Though Alabama initially had some concerns about recording this Tim James, Rivers Rutherford and George Teren penned tune, it now excites the band a great deal. "It's amazing to me; almost everybody we've talked to has picked out that song," bass guitarist Teddy Gentry told USA Today. "The first time I played it for Randy (Owen) we talked about how it's kind of an inside, songwriter's song. We were a little sceptical about whether it was ready for prime time, but we thought, 'It's such a cool song, we've gotta give it a shot.'"
