Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alabama 3 formed in Brixton, London in 1995, with vocalist Robert Gillespie and guitarist Larry Love at the core. Their name came from Alabama State Route 3, a highway known for drug trafficking. The band's sound mixed blues, gospel, and electronica in ways that didn't fit neatly into existing categories.
Their song "Woke Up This Morning" appeared in the opening credits of The Sopranos in 1997, which brought them international attention. Other tracks like "Mao Tse Tung Said" and "Hypo Full of Love (The 12-Step Plan)" showed their tendency to blend crime narratives with spiritual themes.
Gillespie wrote about his experiences with addiction and recovery in the memoir "Tenement Kid." The band's later albums like "Power in the Blood" and "M.O.R." reflected some of those personal changes while maintaining their distinctive musical approach.
