Atlanta's Burning Down
Atlanta's Burning Down is the third studio album by Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band. It was recorded with his band Great Southern in late 1977, and released in early 1978. The standout tracks are "Good Time Feeling" and "Atlanta's Burning Down". The title track is a sentimental narrative about a soldier's wife being in Atlanta during the burning of the city, while he was fighting in Virginia. The guest musicians are Bonnie Bramlett, Clydie King and Sherlie Matthews on background vocals. Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "it's Betts' singing that makes this one so worthwhile, along with the expected loads of good instrumental work from the band."[3] On AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote, "On his third solo outing – and his second with his backing band Great Southern – Allman Brothers lead guitarist Dickey Betts moves back into the deep-fried Southern boogie that the Brothers are (in)famous for and serves it up with just a smidgen of country and comes out with another winner.... Loud, tough, and funky, Atlanta's Burning Down is a winner."[1] Track listing
