Alabama 3 was one of the oddest musical outfits to arise from late-'90s London, but also one of the most original. The band's origins are shrouded in urban myth - the band likes to claim that the three core members met in rehab, while their Southern accents have many believing they are from the U.S. State of Alabama, although it appears vocalists Rob Spragg and Jake Black met at a London rave when Spragg heard Black singing Hank Williams' 'Lost Highway.' Bonding, they set out about creating an agenda of Americana, electronica, leftist politics, and laughter. Joined by DJ Piers Marsh, the trio issued two 12' dance singles that combined their interest in gospel and country music, yet these went over the heads of the London dance scene. In Italy, where Spragg and Black began singing Howlin' Wolf songs over Marsh mixes, the idea of the band began to take shape and back in Brixton, South London, they recruited a crew of musicians to shape their vision.

This, combined with brilliantly theatrical live shows, meant the band attracted a huge South London following long before they had a record deal.Signed to One Little Indian, their 1997 debut, Exile on Coldharbour Lane, was a groundbreaking work that effortlessly fused gospel, country, blues, and house music. Dubbed 'chemical country,' Alabama 3 broke down the barriers between line dancers and ravers. The band's penchant for absurdity was displayed in Spragg and Black's insistence on singing, rapping, and preaching in deep Southern accents alongside samples of cult leader Jim Jones preaching Maoist philosophy and the renaming of all members - Spragg became the Reverend Larry Love; Black became D. Yet the songs were strong and imaginative and their observations on contemporary U.K. Culture were spot-on: country and blues were used to look at the excesses of dance culture - all with a pumping 808 beat behind them. The band was picked up on by U.K. Roots DJs Charlie Gillet and Andy Kershaw, but the U.K.

Music press, at the height of its infatuation with Britpop, ignored the group or derided them as a novelty. Fortunately, U.S.

Audiences displayed a greater degree of irony, and cult TV series The Sopranos employed the band's 'Woke Up This Morning' as its theme music. Unfortunately, country-lite vocal outfit Alabama sued over the group's name, which means in the U.S. Alabama 3 is now known as A3.Album number two, La Peste, followed in 2000 and found the band in more muted form. Again, the gospel-country-blues axis was there and the shows were wonderfully outrageous, but it appeared that two years of touring and a stronger awareness of the mounting casualties of rave culture and New Labor Britain had made the band wear a bleaker face. Where their debut cheekily nodded at the Stones' seminal double album, La Peste shared with it a bleak, murky sound that demanded the listener dig into the songs to discover their meaning. In 2007, with a continuing reluctance to conform, the band completed an equally dark and wonderfully uncompromising album titled M.O.R. Unfortunately, it's doubtful that A3 will shake loose their cult status anytime soon, considering that their constant mashing of opposing genres results in a tremendously original soundscape, and this makes it nearly impossible to classify the band or nail it down to a single specific genre.

Coldharbour Lore

Garth Cartwright. This 18-track, career-spanning retrospective collects material from the albums issued by Alabama 3 prior to its 2008 release, as well as some previously unissued cuts. The press for Alabama 3 (or A3, as they're billed in the U.S. For legal reasons) might overstate their use of roots music, as this is more rap, hip-hop, and house in its beats and vocal delivery than anything else. Still, you will hear some more traditional American forms of music in the mix, sometimes prominently so, as in 'Hello.I'm Johnny Cash' and 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Life.' The song title of the latter tune also clues you in that Alabama 3 have a rather sardonic, wry take on things.

The effect is sometimes like hearing Dr. John after he's made the decision to go either alt country or techno, without being able to make up his mind in either direction.

While Alabama 3/A3 haven't had much of the way in actual 'hits' in the U.S., Hits and Exit Wounds does include the one song they're most known for Stateside, 'Woke Up This Morning,' used as a theme for television's The Sopranos. Richie Unterberger. Download not availableThe genre-blending collective A3 compose a slinky rock & roll mix that's both intriguing and difficult to classify.

Power in the Blood is their third album and equally complex as their previous efforts; however, A3 don't experiment or musically venture out. The electronic shtick continues to work for them, and Reverend Larry Love's brooding vocals are as sultry as ever, but Power in the Blood refuses to move beyond the band's biggest hit, 'Woke Up This Morning.' If you're content with A3's swampy dance template of blues and gospel, Power in the Blood delivers. From the sexy title track to the warm-hearted country flair of 'Woody Guthrie,' A3 are subtle and cool in offering their own political twists. While urging you to 'text message your Mama' on the murky stylings of 'The Devil Went Down to Ibiza,' trance beats are downscaled for this haunting number. Where's the passion? Perhaps A3 are a touch too fashionable and a bit too slick to get passionate.

Perhaps finding the funk is their passion, hence the title of this album. The first 10,000 pressings of Power in the Blood include a bonus disc of six acoustic tracks.
