Don't let them slip by........2007-06-11
In the 1970's, the market place was swamped with south of the Mason-Dixon line musicians. If you need to expand your Southern Rock collection, Atlanta Rhythm Section MUST be in it!
Great Introduction to ARS.......2006-12-08
This is a great CD for people who would like a nice introduction to this very talented group. It has a nice choice of songs and the sound quality is excellent. What made ARS stand out so much in their was their lead singer, Ronnie Hammond. He has to be one of the underrated male vocalists ever. His voice is so beautiful, soulful and smooth. I just wish he hadn't retired from singing.
Better than vinyl.......2006-03-02
Great to hear these great songs by great band in a clear and fresh CD. ARS fans will like
This porridge is just about right!.......2001-05-24
The Millennium Collection series is a lot like Goldilocks at the Three Bears house. Sometimes the porridge is too hot - how can you possibly distill the career of The Who, The Jackson Five or even Bing Crosby into 10 tracks? Sometimes the porridge is too cold - calling Eddie Kendricks or Rita Coolidge a "Master" is just too much of a stretch.
This is one of those collections that is just about right. ALS were a very good mid-tempo, classic rock band of the mid-70's with solid songs, respectable vocals and very good arrangements. Sort of a Steely Dan-cum-Southern Rock combination. Their biggest hit was the soulful "So Into You" ("I am so into you I can't think of nothing else."), but they also made the top 40 with the onanistic implications of "Imaginary Lovers", "Doraville", the largely forgotten "Do It Or Die", and the wonderful uptempo "Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight". Also include is their cover of the Classic IV 60's hit "Spooky" ('Life sure is crazy with a spooky little girl like you.'), the band from who's ashes ALS rose. A little filler, but a nice, although not critical collection for 70's Classic Rock fans.

Not original recordings.......2007-03-14
This compilation is a re-recording of their hits recorded in 1995.
Sounds good, but I wish I would of known. It is the band, different
recordings.
What the ................?.......2007-01-19
I bought this cd cheap and thought I got a great deal. But then I listened to it and there's no way that Ronnie Hammond is singing lead vocals on this cd. And that's not the rest of the band backing him up. The lead singer definitely has a Southern accent but he can't match the sound of Hammond. It's bad! Really, really bad. I went on Atlanta Rhythm Section's website and looked at all their albums and never did find this one listed. This cd is made in Canada, has the number SLD23432 on it, and is more than half red and the other less than half silver. Looks like the studio might be Retro Music. I advise anyone considering buying this cd not to. If you like the boys from Doraville, you're probably going to hate the butchery that's been done to their sound.
Vanishing Sounds.......2007-01-12
A spinoff of the old ClassicsIV with Dennis Yost. I was thrilled to see it was still available as an album. This group made some of the best sounds of the late 70's and early 80's.
Great for your 70's collection.......2007-01-11
I bought this cd for a few well known tracks, but the lesser known and even unknown tracks were a very pleasant surprise. I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes good sounding 70' tunes.
Sounds of History.......2006-08-03
Other reviewers talk about lone hits for ARS so that must make me an anomaly. I never owned an ARS album growing up but I know and jam (in my head) to just about every song on this CD as most of them could be heard on radio stations through out the south back in the day. ARS has a jazzy feel that is still Southern Rock in its roots. Champagne Jam and Spooky are excellent songs but my favorite has always been "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight". Long title, but excellent song. Their 'hit' is a good song too but they had depth that is worth going after. Their sound holds up even today.

Customer Reviews:
Re-worked, re-done and re-vitalized!!.......2006-02-25
Yes, this was a re-recording done back in '96. Hammond, Bailey and Daughtry were all present for it. A new drummer and bass player were added. These aren't the "versions you remember" but I dare you to say this is bad music.
There are some songs here that actually sound better than the originals. "Spooky" contains this killer instrumental break and guitar solo. Ronnie Hammond's vocals have matured and now contain an authentic southern scowl. "Homesick" cooks with more guitar and Hammond giving it his all. "Imaginary Lover" has a more electric feel to it, and an absolute fantastic guitar solo. "Doraville" doesn't have the same beef as the other tracks but has some nice keyboard work. "Georgia Rhythm" has a smooth, clean feel to it. Hammond nails the vocal with more authenticity and southern spunk than the original. "So Into You" just keeps going and going like the guitar energizer bunny."Free Spirit" has this Neil Young intensity that was missing from the original. "Dog Days" is a jazz-meets southern rock-meets sultry southern afternoon song that is another great piece of nostalgia. "Champagne Jam" cooks along with all the power of the original but with more bottom end and with Ronnie Hammond asking us to believe in the "jam".
Those reviewers complaining about this being a re-done recording or being lied to, keep in mind that polydor and columbia have all the rights to the old ARS recordings. This is not on one of those labels, so it couldn't be original. Read the packaging! It's easy to be deceived. Old labels do such a poor job promoting and selling their catalogue that that newer upstart companies are more grateful to own even a piece of re-recorded rock history.
With that said this collection kicks enough butt to be 5 star work. You'll pay less and get a band on the rebound!
not a collection.......2003-11-15
This isn't a collection. The tracks are re-recorded. It will dissapoint you. The new versions are good, but they didn't tell that, the songs aren't original. If this would be a collection I would give it more than 3 stars. But because of not telling the truth I don't give so much stars. But the new versions are not bad, so I gave it two stars. If the new versions would be worse, I would give it less stars. Simple.
1 star.......2003-11-15
I DON'T LIKE IT, BECAUSE THE SONGS ARE BAD. AND I DON'T LIKE IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE RE-PLAYED. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT.
Not the Genuine Article.......2003-01-10
Like the other reviewers, I learned the hard way that this CD is not what I was expecting from something labeled "The Very Best of Atlanta Rhythm Section."
These songs are apparently newly recorded versions of the familier ARS songs I was hoping for. I couldn't even tell if Ronnie Hammond was doing the lead vocals anymore.
Not to say that these songs are all bad-the new version of "Spooky" features some very nice guitar work., as do some of the other songs with punched up drums or bass too. It's just that I wasn't buying this CD for new versions.
I recommend instead the legit CD "The Best of Atlanta Rhythm Section" released by Polygram Records in 1997 as part of their budget series. You'll find original versions of "Neon Nites" and "Large Time" among others.
Bogus Collection of ARS.......2001-05-09
I was disappointed when I received this ARS collection--the selections are NOT the original recordings and the smooth southern rock sound is definitely missing. I will more than likely sell this CD at my next garage sale. ARS admirers: SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Not The Real Deal!.......2003-05-16
I'm usually pretty careful when ordering/buying CD's to be sure the songs are performed by the original artists. In this case, I wasn't careful enough because had I read the reviews I would have know that the songs on this CD are not performed by Atlanta Rhythm Section, althought there is nothing to indicate otherwise in either the description or on the CD itself. These are bad recordings off tempo and off key in some cases. If you were looking for the real deal, forget this CD. It went right into the trash.
Decent Collection of Songs.......2003-04-08
In their heyday, the Atlanta Rhythm Section walked the funkier side of the Southern Rock street dominated by Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. Their biggest hit was "So Into You," an extended version of which kicks off this collection. Other highlights include the more Skynyrd-sounding "Doraville" and "Jukin" as well as "Champagne Jam." ATS, unfortunately, does not get the due they deserve on classic rock radio these days, as one listen to this collection will demonstrate.
Not what I expected . . ........2002-03-11
I was quite disappointed to find that the album contained remakes of my favorite Atlanta Rhythm Section songs. They're not bad, but I wanted the original versions--wished they had mentioned that they weren't somewhere on the cover. I can't recommend buying this album.
DO NOT BUY!.......2001-05-16
I bought this CD, and the artists are not the same as the ones who sang the songs in the 70's! I know, because I compared my vinyl versions, and they're not the same! On the CD I purchased, the song "Doraville" was supposed to be on track 2. It was, but it was also REPEATED on track 6! DO NOT BUY THIS CD!
Not this one!.......1999-09-21
Unfortunately there are way too many "Greatest Hits" or "Best of" choices from Atlanta Rhythym Section. Seems that most of them are remakes. If anyone knows which ones include the ORIGINAL VERSIONS of their songs, please let me know. This is not the one!
