Mountain Music offers what Alabama is famous for, great music and great harmony all packaged together. The title cut is great, that harmonica and "old man of the mountain" intro is unique. As for "Close Enough to Perfect" if any man sings that song to his lady, she is his forever. The cuteness of "Never Be One" also reminds us of the sadness that our children grow up so fast we hardly know it. There isn't a bad song on the whole CD and will make a good addition to any collection.

Really touching music, somthing I can listen for hours and be hungry for more. Then, just rewind the tape! Music for all kinds of ages, even for two year-olds!!

This is the record that put Alabama on the map. The first track to the last shows you what 4 musicians who love and respect each other can do. They will always remind me of a girl named Angie, my first love! This is the blueprint for anyone who picks up a Bass, a Guitar, Drumsticks and a Microphone. These Alabama Boys will be missed!!

An excellent cd containing the songs: "Mountain Music", "Close Enought to Perfect", "Words at Twenty Paces", "Changes Comin'On", "Green River", "Take me Down", "You Turn Me On", "Never Be One", "Lovin' You is Killin' Me", and "Gonna Have a Party". This is Alabama at their best,and I highly, gladly recommend it. Thanks!!!!

Following the huge success of their second album, Feels so right, came this classic album. It yielded three country number one hits. The brilliant title track takes a nostalgic look at mountain music but it is a misleading album title - this is definitely an eighties country album. Take me down is a cover of a song by pop group Exile, who later switched to country and became Alabama's main rivals for a while. The other number one hit, Close enough to perfect, would have been an accurate album title.
Elsewhere, this album contains many excellent songs, both ballads and up-tempo, most notably Green river (a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic), Words at twenty paces and the closing Gonna have a party.

This is one of Alabama's most successful original albums and deservedly so. You can find the hits on For the record 41 number one hits, but if you want to go beyond that, this should be high on your list of Alabama albums to collect.

I haven't got the chance to see Alabama live, but "Mountain Music" is one of my all-time favorite country albums. I bought this one from a mail-order record club. Not a clunker on it. Highly recommended.

I actually own this in vinyl format instead of cd format.
This is one of those records you keep forever. When the vynyl record gets too scratched I'll buy the cd.

This was the first album I ever heard and it's one of my favorites. "Mountain Music" is a great song about the good times in life and "Close Enough To Perfect" kills me every time I hear it and the words are just so sweet. The bands version of "Green River" has the same feel of the original. "Take Me Down" has a great beat to it and a cool little thing goin' on. Like I said before this album is great, it's the best album ALABAMA ever did!!!

This is another classic from the Band Alabama. With songs like Mountain music, Close enough to perfect, and Take me down how can you go wrong?
