It's sad to see Alabama retire but I guess after 20+ years they deserve it. In The Mood again is an Alabama classic despite that there are only two previously unreleased tracks on this awesome CD. Every song is a fantastic classic hit. This compilation was very well picked and all the songs are truely awesome love songs. If Alabama wanted to give us one final hoooraaahhhhhhhh! ---- then this is it and they went out with a bang! I would highly recommend this CD to any Alabama fan. All the awesome love songs together on a double CD. What more could we ask for as a grand finale? Happy retirement Alabama and thank you for all those years of beautiful music!

Do you really need to hear the CD to review it? Well, it's pretty obvious that a lot of these songs are collections of ones they've done before. However, I think they kept it a little in the safe zone and didn't take any risks on songs that may not have been chart toppers but probably didn't get the airtime they deserved. I believe Burn Georgia Burn from the Feel So Right album (CD, whatever it was album back then) was one of the best love songs they have ever done, and it's not even sung by Randy Owens. With that said, it's Alabama so I'd be kidding myself to give them anything lower than four stars.

When I saw the songs on this album, I said, if they're calling it quits, why not make a bunch of new songs? I think that's exactly what they didn't wish to do, keep their success, not just fill up their Farewell album with Filler. The last new ones, In the Mood, a man coming home from work after an especially tough day, (we all know those) and The Living Years (I think this is a remake of an older song) seem to not be the tracks I foresaw as, the end. But from Track 3 to Track 20-something, there's nothing but good old hits, oldies for forever. God bless Alabama, whereever they Go!

Not having the album, and not having heard all of the album
I can say that what I did hear was outstanding.
Hard to believe the group is getting ready to call it quits.

This band just produces hit after hit! They have a great sound! They cross the country barrier to any musical type.

Good album for when you're feeling romantic. Best song on the album is the title song "In the Mood" which has a great, bluesy guitar reminiscent of the one on Chris Isaac's Heart-Shaped world.

This is Alabama at their best - I don't think there is a better "Love Songs" CD. Randy Owen really gets you in the mood. That voice. That smile. OMG I don't think their is anyone with a more sexier voice than Randy. This is a 2 CD pack. All the songs are so good. Alabama is the greatest. If you are an Alabama fan, this one is a MUST HAVE. Also, Randy's new solo CD "ONE ON ONE" and his new book are both very good. He still has that voice in my opinion. Both are available at Amazon. He may be touring this summer, go to his web site and check out his videos and new songs.

Alabama is my favorite singers of all time. Have almost all there cds this has my favorites.I'm glad Randy Owen made a new cd.
