Southern Drawl is the twenty-third studio album by American country music group Alabama, and their first album of new material since When It All Goes South in 2001. The album was released on September 18, with lead single "Wasn't Through Lovin' You Yet" released the same month.[3] The track "One on One" previously appeared on lead singer Randy Owen's 2008 album of the same name.[4]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars. He criticized some tracks, including the title track, "Hillbilly Wins the Lotto Money", "I Wanna Be There", and "American Farmer" as "trying too hard", but added that "Such down-the-middle numbers overshadow much subtler and nicer moments scattered throughout the record, moments that usually arrive in the soft, sweet ballads that give the group plenty of opportunity to showcase its gentle, interwoven harmonies. These slow tunes more than the over-pumped rockers feel the truest to old Alabama."[5]
Commercial performance
The album debuted at No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart, and No. 14 on the Billboard 200, selling 20,900 copies in its debut week in the US.[6] The album has sold 68,900 copies in the US as of January 2016.[7]
