Posted on by Bob Ballard

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were forced to postpone a planned Facebook Live acoustic livestream after someone in their camp was exposed to COVID-19. Well, everyone must be okay because they’ve now rescheduled the performance.

Garth announced on Facebook that the performance will take place today at 7 pm ET. He announced the news along with a goofy photo of him and Trisha with drawn in mustaches, and the tag line “I mustache you to play,” and the hashtag #GarthRequestLive2. Check out the announcement below.

Meanwhile, during last night’s “Inside Studio G” Garth assured fans that the possible exposure to COVID-19 turned out to be a false alarm. He said that everyone tested negative for the virus, including the person who had possibly been exposed to it.

On this day in 1981: Alabama’s “My Home’s In Alabama” album is certified gold.

Posted on by Bob Ballard

On this day in 1981: Alabama’s album, “My Home’s In Alabama,” was certified gold.

My Home’s in Alabama is the fourth studio album by American country band Alabama, released in May 1980 on RCA Nashville, their breakthrough album.

The title track pays homage to Alabama’s southern rock roots. It reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1980. Two other tracks — the fiddle-heavy, southern rock-influenced “Tennessee River” and the ballad “Why Lady Why” — were the band’s first two No. 1 songs, and laid the foundation for what became one of the most impressive popularity runs in country music history.

Also included on My Home’s In Alabama is the band’s 1979 single, “I Wanna Come Over”, which peaked at No. 33 in November 1979. Both that song and the better-known title track were originally issued by MDJ Records, before the band was signed to RCA in early 1980. The album eventually became the group’s first major-label album to be distributed by RCA Records in Nashville. After this when their major-label debut album was released, Alabama would go on and record more new albums at the RCA Records label for the rest of their career.
