group to ever come out of the South.
WE BELIEVE in the Atlanta Rhythm Section not only because
they are some of the finest musicians in the country today, but
also because they believed in themselves enough to turn their
backs on lucrative careers as hit songwriters and sought after
musicians to make this album.
WE BELIEVE their debut album, "The Atlanta Rhythm Section"
(#75265), is worth the year it took to make.
WE BELIEVE, after careful consideration, that "Another Man's

laney and Bonnie, now signed to

Columbia Records, continue to
gear their act to that idea, drawing
enthusiastic audiences that seem to

thrive on their full -throttle ap-
proach to gospel, blues, and rock
'n' roll. LSP-4556 LSP-4661
Unfortunately, that style has in-
herent limitations. Their music
tends to hold to one dynamic and
one tempo, namely loud and fast,
and nearly all their songs end with
the same splash of instruments and
voices winding down, rarely focus-
ing on any rhythm. While their
current band is otherwise fairly
tight, more restraint and variety in
choice and execution of material
might provide more inspiring mu-
sic, particularly in view of Bonnie's
sinuous ability to project the few
slow blues numbers she is given.
Playing with the Bramletts and
preceding them with his own set
was A&M Records' Billy Preston.
Preston's band, the God Squad,
chugs along nicely behind his joy-
ous, funky keyboards, and his set
was marked by an exuberance ex-
plicitly rooted in Preston's religious
convictions.
Opening the concert was the
Kenny Loggins Band with Jim
Messina, and this set really offered
the triumph of the evening. Mes-
sina's past associations with Buf-
falo Springfield and Poco were
marked by a spontaneity and pro-
fessionalism which blossomed in
performance, and his abilities are
now beautifully offset by Loggins'
own distinct personality as a writer
and performer.
