Alabama 3 are a band originating from Brixton, England, their music incorporates elements of country, acid house, blues and gospel.

Named for the Alabama 2, a legal case in the American deep South during the 1930s, in which two black men were hanged for allegedly raping a white woman. The name is also a nod to other victims of injustice like the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4. In the United States, they are known as A3, after they were sued by the legendary country outfit Alabama.

They are perhaps best known in the United States for the remix of their song

Woke up this Morning, which appears as the theme song for the HBO hit series The Sopranos.

They have released six albums so far, with numerous bootlegs more than doubling their catalog. Alabama 3 rarely tour outside of their home country.

Recently, female singer Devlin Love has joined the group.

How it's called the remix where Got yourself a gun is replaced by Got myself a gun, etc? I found it tagged with Leonard Cohen as the artist!!!

The new album is a best of but it has some remixes and a previously unreleased track as well, I think. They did do an M.O.R remix album which you can handily get from their site.
