Sealed 1972 2LP Gatefold Original. Cut Corner. “The Alabama State Troupers Was A Big-Band Soul Outfit Formed By Ex-Markey Member Don Nix In 1971. Nix Cut A Solo Album, Entitled Living By The Days, For Elektra Records In 1971, And Put Together A Touring Group Consisting Of Lonnie Mack — Replaced By Furry Lewis — Jeannie Greene, And The Mt. Zion Band And Choir. The Group Embarked On A National Tour That Took Them Across The South And West To California, Initially To Promote Nix's Album, But The Shows Soon Took On A Life Of Their Own, Especially With Lewis — A Veteran Bluesman With More Than 40 Years In The Business — Opening The Shows. In 1972, Elektra Issued A Live Album Off Of The Tour, The Alabama State Troupers Road Show, A 21-Song Double-LP Set That Captured Some Of The Better Moments From Their Tour. The Group Broke Up Soon After But Was Well Remembered Enough To Get A Live CD, "Live For A Moment," Issued In Australia In 2005.” – Bruce Eder, All Music Guide.
