Hailing from the little town of Doraville, Georgia, the beginning of the Atlanta Rhythm Section fanny be traced plump for to 1970. It was then that a local recording studio apartment was opened, Studio One, and the remnants of deuce groups (the Candymen and the Classics Four), became the studio's menage band. One of the facility's oral sex figures, Buddy Buie, before long began aggregation the academic session striation -- vocaliser Rodney Justo, guitarist Barry Bailey, bassist Paul Goddard, keyboardist Dean Daughtry, and drummer Robert Nix. After playing on respective artists' recordings, it was trenchant to take the stria a stone's throw further and peeing the radical of players a material band, leading to the shaping of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Buie shortly became an unseeable fifth member of the fledgeling band; he served as their director and producer, in addition to providing a major hand in the songwriting department. Finding fourth dimension betwixt roger Sessions to record their possess original material (which was ab initio, only subservient), an early demo lesion up landing the band a record handle. The group's first base few albums failed to generate much chart activeness (1972's Capital of Georgia Rhythm Section, 1973's Back Up Against the Wall, 1974's Third Annual Pipe Dream, 1975's Blackguard Days, and 1976's Red Tape), simply it was during this clip that Justo was replaced with newcomer Ronnie Hammond, which would lastly yield dividends for the group. Although they had gained quite a bit of radio airplay down south, their record company began to place press on the quintette to deliver a single that would go against them across the nation. The involve worked -- the Atlanta Rhythm Section scored a Top Ten unmarried, "So Into You," on their following sack, 1976's A Rock and Roll Alternative, which was the group's first theme record album to reach gold documentation. But this wouldn't be the group's commercial vizor, as they scored the highest charting record album of their vocation in 1978, the Top Ten Bubbly Jam, which spawned 2 hit singles -- "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" and "Complex quantity Lover." To maintain up their high profile, the Atlanta Rhythm Section shortly became unrivalled of the hardest touring bands of the total Southern rock musical genre (including a public presentation at the White House for then-president Jimmy Carter). But the group's commercial success would be momentary -- it appeared as shortly as mainstream rock candy fans embraced the Atlanta Rhythm Section, they barely as quickly forgot around them. Each subsequent record album -- 1979's Underdog and lively coiffure Are You Ready, 1980s The Boys from Doraville, and 1981's Quinella -- sold less than the premature one, resulting in the band's split presently thenceforth. In the rouse of their split, the Atlanta Rhythm Section has reunited periodically for tours (although only a few original members would be gift), and issued their first all-new studio album in more than a decennary in 1999, Eufala. Additionally, some of country-rock's biggest names leave bypast on to track record Atlanta Rhythm Section covers -- Travis Tritt, Wynonna Judd, and Charlie Daniels, among others. |
