  • What Alabama Put in the Music: Four Voices, One Foundation | Music Accelerator
    Jan 6 2026

    What do Randy Owen, Jamey Johnson, Jimmy Buffett, and Lionel Richie have in common?

    They all trace their story back to Alabama.

    In this episode of the Hatch Podcast Music Accelerator, Hatch producer Tim Scott reaches back into his radio archives to curate rare audio and conversations with artists from different generations and genres, all shaped by the same place and the same foundation.

    From northeast Alabama, Randy Owen reflects on growing up in Fort Payne, working the land, and learning early lessons about character and humility that helped shape one of the most successful bands in country music history.

    From Montgomery, Jamey Johnson talks candidly about success, pressure, and refocusing on who he was really writing songs for. Jamey scored his own breakthrough hit with “In Color” and wrote major songs recorded by other artists, including “Give It Away,” which became a number-one hit for George Strait.

    From Mobile, Jimmy Buffett shares the story behind his duet with Alan Jackson, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.” The song went on to spend eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and became Alan Jackson’s first pop crossover hit. Jimmy, who passed away in 2023, explains how the collaboration came together not in a studio or a boardroom, but through boats, fishing, and time spent together far from Nashville.

    And from Tuskegee, Lionel Richie reflects on longevity, connection, and what it means to stay human across decades in music. Drawing from his experience as a judge on American Idol, Lionel talks about personality, self-awareness, and why talent lasts longer when you don’t lose yourself along the way.

    Different eras.
    Different sounds.
    One foundation.

    This episode isn’t about a genre.
    It’s about perspective, humility, and stories that travel far beyond Alabama.

    That’s what Alabama put in the music.
