The original members of Atlanta Rhythm Section came together as the h ouse musicians at the famed Studio One in Doraville\, Georgia\, a recordin g home to such country rock greats as Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Dicky Betts\, and 3 8 Special. They would play as session musicians on albums for other groups three or four nights a week and work on their own songs on their off time . From that start\, they went on to record 15 albums and play to tens of t housands of fans at festivals and arenas earning a place as one of the top acts in country rock and as carriers of the “Southern Rock” mantle.\n\nTh at said\, Atlanta Rhythm Section was never about a title or label. Their s ound was musically diverse\, and they had hits with a softer pop flavor wi th a sound that was uniquely their own. They were as influenced by music c oming from England as from Southern rockers and shared musical stylings wi th The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. They were excellent musicians who tried t o stretch themselves - think Steely Dan or Little Feat.\n\nChampagne Jam\, released in 1978\, was Atlanta Rhythm Section’s breakthrough album\, winn ing both critical and popular acclaim for the band. Eight songs were showc ased with the smooth pop production the group had been refining for years and continued the pattern of blending beautiful melodies with shifting tem pos. The album hit the Top 10 and quickly went gold\, and the title track\ , “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight\,” was a Top 20 hit. It was\, ho wever\, “Imaginary Lover” that really put the band on the map\, reaching N umber 7 on the charts. The band rode that wave of success\, producing more gold and platinum albums with more Top 40 singles\, including “So into Yo u\,” “Do It or Die\,” “Spooky\,” and “Doraville.” They toured continuously and gained a reputation for incredible live performances. Today\, they st ill maintain a busy touring schedule and participate in Rock Legends Cruis es\, which benefits the Native American Heritage Association.\n\nNow\, mor e than 50 years after it all began\, you can call what they play Southern rock or classic rock or just great music. The name doesn’t matter\, so don ’t let it bother you (tonight).
