DESCRIPTION:

“Alabam,” written by Cowboy Copas, features the unmistakable lead vocals of David Nelson. The song was inspired by the tragic events surrounding the Deep South in the early 1960s, particularly the civil rights movement. It serves as a poignant reflection of the racial tension and unrest at that time. Inspired by their resilience and the ongoing fight for equality, Copas set out to create a song that would pay tribute to the state and its people.
