UK Number 40s: Alabama 3 - Ain't Goin' To Goa (1998)

 


It's not unusual for 2 different styles of music to come together in a record. The most obvious one that springs to mind was the rap-rock crossover record "Walk This Way" by Run DMC vs Aerosmith. We've also seen both rap and rock music combine with other genres such as dance music.

Here's one I don't think too many people saw coming, acid house and country crossover music. That's what Alabama 3 were. Despite the name and the country aspect of their music they were actually a British band.

They were quite a sizeable band with an ever changing line up. This was their only Top 40 hit but they had several singles that didn't make the Top 40. They are still going and at the time of writing they are onto their 13th studio album.
