Alabama's Jeff Cook announces new CD

Thursday, April 15, 2010 – Former Alabama lead guitarist and fiddle player Jeff Cook will have a new album out next month.

Cook and his Allstar Goodtime Band release "Shaken, Not Stirred" (Quest) on May 11. The album's multi-genre material showcases Cook playing country and other genres.

"Sure, country music got me to where I am but there are a lot of other formats and musicians out there who had major impacts on me as a music man" said Cook. "You'll hear some original country songs on this album but also some classic multi-genre hits that I think lots of folks will remember...Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops, Dave Clark Five's Because and The Beatles' She's A Woman to name a few."

Alabama bass player Teddy Gentry joined Cook for harmonizing and Nashville recording artist Danielle Peck did a duet of the Pointer Sisters' hit Fire.

Songs on the CD are:

1. Waitin' On Willie to Sing

2. Because

3. Misery Loves Company

4. I'll Give You That

5. I've Been Around Enough To Know

6. Lonely Teardrops

7. Dreamer Gone Blind

8. She's A Woman

9. Don't Fish And Drive

10. Fire

11. Looking For A Love

12. AGB Medley

Shortly after Alabama's final farewell tour, Cook formed the Allstar Goodtime Band and has continued to release music.

CD review - Southern Drawl With all the belly aching about country music not staying true to its roots, maybe instead of a new entry into the landscape, it is time for a re-entry. Many hoped that Alabama's latest, "Southern Drawl" would be the cure to what ails the traditionalists. But the iconic band tried to walk a very fine line on its first release since 2001's "When It All Goes South." Back in their Eighties heyday, the group put the country rock sound on the map. ...
CD review - Angels Among Us Hymns & Gospel Favorites The threads of faith and family are intrinsically woven throughout the fibers of country music, but the results of such albums are not always successful, with some records feeling dry and inspired while others take the bull by the horns and really engage the material. Alabama's latest offering, "Angels Among Us: Hymns & Gospel Favorites," falls into the latter category. That's not to say that Alabama reinvents the wheel here, but, rather, that they tackle the source ...
