I've been working at trying to only play Fresh Grabs and backlog the past two months, although this month has had a pair of second spins that were just too good for their respective prompts. This happens to be one of the small handful of Sun Ra records in my backlog so I figured I might as well go for it for today's prompt!

May 22 - Stars Fell on Alabama

A record about rock stars with Alabama references galore and on the final track they literally fall from the sky...












Drive-By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera

And out in California, a rock star from Canada
Wrote a couple of great songs about the bad shit that went down
"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth
There's a lot of good folks down here, Neil Young just wasn't around

This album originally started out as Duane Allman Solo record before he scrapped the session and turning the album over to former Pinetoppers frontman’s solo debut. Allman had started off recording the album at the famed Muscle Shoals, ALABAMA studio (Duane’s slide work from this sessions is still prominently featured on a few of the track) before Jenkins completed the record back in Macon.
