Atlantic Rhythm Section - a rock and roll alternative (1976)

Atlantic Rhythm Section - a rock and roll alternative (1976)

   "A rock and roll alternative" was the sixth albums and IMHO best studio album they ever released mixing Southern jams with soul-rock and I think just the right amount of Country all wrapped around eight great songs.    

   Lead singer Ronnie Hammond has a fantastic rock voice and when combined with the harmonies and backing vocals of drummer Robert Nix will take you places.  In many ways this album carries the vibe of BREAD and the DOOBIES with some great 70's rock.

  The big hit off this album was "So In To You" which charted back in the day and is still played on the radio and has that 70's hook all over it!   My favourite song on the album is the harder edged "Outside Woman Blues" which I think is just a great blues rock tune that totally rocks !

  ARS were an excellent band and this album is an album you just gotta hear !
