20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Atlanta Rhythm Section 2000 Album

Atlanta Rhythm Section

Formed from the ashes of session musicians from the Classics IV (a 60’s soft-rock act known for a couple of hits, like “Spooky” and “Traces”) and some other band whose name I can’t recall, they eventually convalesced around Studio One in Doraville, Georgia. The good thing about this CD is that all of the best material these guys ever put to tape is here in one place. Actually, that covers both the good and bad points about this disc - every album I have heard of these guys consists of one or two decent tracks (which were the chart hits) followed by a sea of nondescript filler. But then again, even the chart hits had lackluster moments and/or were guilty pleasures at best.
