NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 10, 2026) – Today, award-winning country music band ALABAMA releases their newest duet with the late Dan Seals, “Still Reelin’ (From Those Rock & Roll Days),” available now.
Listen to “Still Reelin’ (From Those Rock & Roll Days) HERE.
“A tribute to the music and memories that never leave us,” said ALABAMA, sharing news of the release with fans last month. Written by Allen Shamblin and Dan Seals, the track was originally released on Seals’ 1998 album In A Quiet Room Vol. II.
ALABAMA, composed of cousins Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry, remains one of the most successful acts in country music history. With a career spanning five decades, they’ve become trailblazers of the country-rock genre, selling over 80 million records worldwide.
This marks the band’s first music release since their 2023 single with Gaither and The Oak Ridge Boys, “Jesus and John Wayne.” Additionally, the two-time GRAMMY Award winners are currently embarking on their One Last Ride North American tour, which is scheduled to conclude this fall in St. Augustine, Florida.
“I loved the pure heartfelt delivery in (Dan’s) voice. I felt honored to be asked to be on the song! The Seals recording is great,” says Randy Owen.
I grew up in a house where the doors were always open
Where a stranger is just someone I did not know
With Dreams of far off places and old guitars
Fell asleep listening to the all-night radio
Now the rooms in this old house are all empty
And sometimes I wonder just how far I’ve come
I know some things must end, I don’t know where I fit in
Still Reelin’ from those rock and roll days
The new duet appears on Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, which releases on August 28. Featuring collaborations from Blake Shelton, Jamey Johnson, Luke Bryan, Vince Gill, Suzy Bogguss, and many more, the star-studded album celebrates the life and legacy of Dan Seals. Pre-save the album HERE.
About ALABAMA
ALABAMA is the most successful band in country music history. Formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook began playing together in the late 1960s, blending Southern rock and gospel influences into a distinctive country sound. After years of performing in bars and honky-tonks, they achieved massive success in the 1980s with a string of No. 1 hits including “Tennessee River,” “Mountain Music,” “Dixieland Delight,” and “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band).” Over five decades since starting the band, ALABAMA has charted 43 No. 1 singles, including 21 No. 1 singles in a row, and have won dozens of CMA, GRAMMY®, and ACM Awards. Their harmonies, energy, and crossover appeal helped define modern country music. Despite Jeff Cook’s passing in 2022, Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry continue to perform and carry on ALABAMA’s legacy as pioneers who bridged traditional country and arena rock for generations of fans.
About Dan Seals
Dan Seals was never one to follow convention. Born and raised in Texas, he played a right-handed, 12-string guitar with his left hand and eight strings— “upside down and backwards,” as he liked to say. This unconventional approach carried through his entire career, as he seamlessly transitioned from pop stardom to country success. Seals first gained fame as “England Dan” in the pop-rock duo, England Dan & John Ford Coley. The pair’s 1976 hit “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” cemented their place in pop history, followed by other classics, “Nights Are Forever Without You” and “Love Is The Answer.” When the duo disbanded, Seals faced financial struggles as he worked for years to rebuild his career. Determined to find a new path, he embraced his country roots. In 1984, “God Must Be a Cowboy” gave him his first country top 10 hit. This paved the way for an astonishing run of 11 No. 1 Billboard country hits. Hits such as “Bop,” “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold),” and “Meet Me in Montana,” featuring Marie Osmond, showcased his ability to blend emotional depth with commercial appeal. His work earned him two CMA awards, multiple GRAMMY nominations, and a loyal fanbase. Seals was known for his artistic integrity, only recording songs that stirred him emotionally. His producer, Kyle Lehning, recalled how he pursued excellence with “light-hearted seriousness” in the studio. When the radio hits slowed, Seals remained a beloved touring act, later performing with his brother Jim (from Seals & Crofts) as Seals & Seals, bringing their respective catalogs to audiences worldwide. Diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in 2007, Seals faced his final days with the same grace he brought to his music. He passed away on March 25, 2009, at 8:30 p.m. — “Showtime,” as his manager put it. Seals was posthumously inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2025. His legacy remains one of versatility, authenticity, and an enduring impact on both pop and country music. A duets album, Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, featuring Seals’ vocals with a cavalcade of respected musicians, will be released on August 28.
