Alabama went on a touring hiatus in 2004, only to return to the stage and the studio in 2010. Since then the band has toured sporadically, but has been promoting their 50th anniversary in the current tour.

Not that anyone who has followed country music needs a refresher, but the Fort Payne-based band has racked up the awards in its time, and is one of the most decorated country music acts of all time.

Honors include:

2 Grammy Awards
15 Academy of Country Music Awards
18 American Music Awards
7 Country Music Association Awards
2 People’s Choice Awards
15 Platinum albums
