Hailing from the little town of Doraville, Georgia, the beginning of the Atlanta Rhythm Section bum be traced plump for to 1970. It was then that a local recording studio was opened, Studio One, and the remnants of deuce groups (the Candymen and the Classics Four), became the studio's household band. One of the facility's head figures, Buddy Buie, presently began assemblage the academic session band -- vocalist Rodney Justo, guitarist Barry Bailey, bassist Paul Goddard, keyboardist Dean Daughtry, and drummer Robert Nix. After playing on respective artists' recordings, it was distinct to take the stria a stone's throw further and weewee the radical of players a material band, leading to the shaping of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Buie before long became an unseeable fifth member of the fledgling band; he served as their managing director and producer, in plus 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 other demo lesion up landing the ring a record handle. The group's first gear 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), only 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 moment of radio airplay down south, their record company began to place pressure on the quintette to deliver a single that would break them crosswise the nation. The demand worked -- the Atlanta Rhythm Section scored a Top Ten unmarried, "So Into You," on their following sacking, 1976's A Rock and Roll Alternative, which was the group's first base record album to hit gold certification. 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 strike singles -- "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" and "Complex quantity Lover." To keep 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 populace presentation at the White House for then-president Jimmy Carter). But the group's commercial succeeder would be momentary -- it appeared as soon as mainstream rock confect fans embraced the Atlanta Rhythm Section, they just as promptly forgot about them. Each subsequent record album -- 1979's Underdog and live coiffure Are You Ready, 1980s The Boys from Doraville, and 1981's Quinella -- sold less than the untimely one, resulting in the band's split presently thereafter. In the rouse of their schism, the Atlanta Rhythm Section has reunited periodically for tours (although only a few original members would be natural endowment), and issued their start all-new studio album in more than a decade in 1999, Eufala. Additionally, some of country-rock's biggest names sacrifice bypast on to course record Atlanta Rhythm Section covers -- Travis Tritt, Wynonna Judd, and Charlie Daniels, among others. |
