Product Description:
Randy Owen, the front man and lead vocalist for one of the biggest music groups of all time, was raised in rural Alabama, grew up working on a small sharecropper farm, and today lives on this same land that his family worked for generations. Born Country weaves together never-before-shared stories about life on the road with the legendary band Alabama, Randy's family, his experiences with temptation in the face of superstardom, and how he held on to his traditional Christian values through it all. Born Country is an inspiring story about how a poor country boy came to touch the lives of millions of fans.

Like some of the other reviewers, I am from Alabama and this book just made me more proud to claim that. I can relate to a lot of Randy's upbringing.

I know they will laugh and cry and enjoy the book as much as I did.

It takes the reader deep into the life of a famous person who inspires us with his down to earth strength and humility without denying his huge talent and success. The area he lives in, where he grew up, in north Alabama is truly one of the most beautiful spots in the entire US. Randy Owen inspires the reader with his love ... Read More

Very good book. I live in Alabama so this group is royalty here. I attend Church with a lady who is a personal friend of Randy Owens and he is genuine. Just an ole' country boy who made good and remembers where he came from; this book reflects his philosophy of being true to your heritage.
