I feel this article is sorely lacking in comprehensiveness. In particular, their entire career in the 1990s is squeezed into one paragraph. Very little is said about the reception of their albums, changes in producers, lyrical content of their songs, etc. The section on their musical style is only a paragraph long; surely way more can be said about this. Compare Restless Heart, whose career was considerably shorter, yet their article goes into considerably more detail and has 25 more footnotes. IMO, a band as impactful as Alabama should have an article about on par with Exile (American band) in length and sourcing. There are also factual issues such as "Mike Perkey" being listed as a former drummer despite nothing in the article verifying it. I would love to revisit this one and maybe get it back to GA, but as it stands I think it's very far from GA in its current form.
