Having the wealth to have anything and the wisdom to use it to enjoy the simple, important things, is a rare quality.

Now you know why we are Randy Owen, "Alabama" fans. He's Humble, Genuine. Good as it gets.👍🎸✝️☮️🇺🇸

[FrankAndTinaOfficial]

We drive by Randy's house every time we go to the Little River Canyon. One time he was in the yard and we waived...he smiled and waived back! Such a humble nice guy!

[Wolfncsupack]

He’s as rich as any man can get. Having a special place on earth to call home that you’ve known all your life with friends and family who genuinely love each other. It gets no better.

I love how humble he is. He hasn't changed. God bless.

Randy Owen has got to be one of the coolest country music stars ever. He has a real heart for charity and is a real Christian to boot.

I love Alabama. They are without a doubt THE best country music band ever. Randy is from the Old America that I love and I am sad that it has gone away. He is Genuine, Sincere, Real, Honest, True, Good, Loyal and A True Southern Patriotic American. We love you Randy. Thank you for sharing your God given talent for writing and singing songs. You have enhanced this world and given to us beauty in your songs. Thanks again and God bless you and your family.

Randy Owen has a kind heart. You can see it when he talks of family and home his emotions come to the surface. Now I know why I’ve always loved Alabama’s music. Tried a true to his roots.

[jagsfanrick]

One of the greatest voices in country music and oh man what great music his band makes.

[ginagay]

love how he refers to his father as DADDY so sweet, still here November 2019!!

[joshporter]

He's a real country boy, not just playing one for a dollar

Beautiful Farm
I understand exactly what he talked about. Born and raised "Country"...
Lived and traveled around the country but have settled right back where it all started. In the deep woods of Georgia.

[jeffhardin]

I know the feeling he gets on that land. I have a 40 acre farm that my parents bought in 1951. I passed the land on to my son a couple of years ago to insure it stays in the family in case I go. I feel like a different person everytime i step foot on that land. Its my heaven on earth cause it was my momma and daddys.

Went to many a Alabama concert in my younger days in the South Never once went home feeling like I didn't get my money's worth .... Talented bunch of guys that put everything into the show.... Good Ole country boys that never forgot where they came from

[gearjammer]

Randy Owen deserves every penny he has. What a guy! 👍

[bcfmef]

old Randy is just a good ole American boy. Great guy

[papat]

Just a down to earth country boy with a lot of family values and God blessed him with a lot of talent to go with it.

[jasonjackson]

I love that all 3 of them are just grounded and normal everyday people. Randy using an old jubilee to cultivate the land instead of a 100k tractor. They are just wonderful people making sweet mountain music. Their music is amazing and timeless! They have a song for every mood that you are in. I love you ALABAMA!

[BornToPun]

Alabama is one of my favorite musical groups/bands, of any genre.

[josefinaneilson]

When he said it cost him thousands of dollars by not living in the Nashville Area in reality it probably cost him millions of dollars.
