Great Southern rock. If you love Dickey Betts music you'll want to have this. "Atlanta's Burning Down" (the song) is quite moving.

4.0 out of 5 stars If only they were all as good as the title track, March 16, 2006

The title track of this is a largely unheard masterpiece that stands with the best work of Dickey Betts with or without the Allmans. Give it 6 stars. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is not at that level. It's good although not great and one would have to say that this material is a notch below much of his ABB output. Average it to 3.5 stars I guess.

Cool album cover too.

My dad and I used to listen to this album on 8-track in his '74 Chevy until we wore it out (even the trusty matchbook wouldn't fix it). This album contains some great guitar work by Dickey, and the band follows his lead nicely. "Good Time Feeling," "Back On the Road Again," and "You Can Have Her" are great southern rock tunes, the type of songs made for drivin' fast. The rest of the album is much more mellow, great for sitting on a porch swing and puttin' a buzz on. If you're an ABB fan or a guitar player, check this one out. It's not "Live at the Fillmore East" but it's a good album containing good songs.
