“Forever’s As Far As I’ll Go” represents Alabama at their absolute peak.

Others note how Alabama’s music from the 90s still feels more genuine than most of today’s country releases. The emotional responses prove that strong songwriting and heartfelt delivery never fade, no matter how much the music industry changes or evolves.
That same year, Alabama released another unforgettable track, “Jukebox in My Mind.” While “Forever’s As Far As I’ll Go” celebrated lasting love, “Jukebox” explored heartbreak with equal power. The song spent four weeks at number one becoming their longest running chart topper at the time.
