Yep, Elmore is correct. Skynard did record there, Al Kooper loved the place. We also did the .38 Special records, Johnny VanZant, Rossington Collins, Mothers Finest, Mose Jones, Joe South, Starbuck, Alicia Bridges, Steelwater and Rodney Mills brought in tons of other folks there. Kevin Elson(road manager and survivor of the Skynard crash) went to work for Journey and he brought in their live album to clean up some vocals. There is just too many to list. It was pretty awesome
Well, Well Well, Glad ole BB is getting some recognition.. This is Rick Maxwell from Macon, Ga. Back in the day I was studio mgr. for the famed Studio One in Doraville Ga. home of The Atlanta Rhythm Section and was fortunate enough to be around such folks like Buddy Buie, Rodney Mills, J.R Cobb, Barry Bailey, Paul Goddard, Robert Nix, Ronnie Hammond and Roy Yeager. Those days were magic!! That place was magic!! I was in the studio when they recorded all the classic songs. Barry's guitar work still blows me away today. He played effortlessly and would leave you with your jaw on the floor!! Yep that's a 69 gold top deluxe he got from J. R. Cobb who also played in ARS and wrote or co-wrote most of their songs. He also was an original member of the Classics Four ala where Spooky came from. J.R played an old Strat and did the slide work on their songs with a old LP Custom not sure what year, I will try to find out. I still keep in touch with J.R and Barry. As you may or may not know, Ronnie the lead singer and Robert, the original drummer for ARS have both passed away. Robert was also the drummer for The Candymen which was Roy Orbison's band. As for Barry, he played through 2 50Watt Marshalls. Listen to the solo on Alien ,from The Quinella album. Half was edited out for album space but it will knock you out..

Here is a pic of Ronnie Hammonds last live performance at The Allman Brothers Big House museum in Macon at their first summer concert series in June of 2010. I"m playing the Std faded on the right. Hope the pic comes through, have not posted pics before.
Did anyone notice the Echoplex Groupmaster behind Barry on the amps? Look at 1:40. That was a rare bird.
1992 YouTube video of ARS (not all original lineup) and Barry Bailey on lead guitar. BB is smokin' hot in this rendition of the classic tune "Spooky".

This is why I love this place! :applaude
This would be Barry, he's used a gold top for decades.This is an old photo of the Atlanta Rhythm Section I took at the Taylor County Colliseum in Abilene, TX, c. 1980. The lead guitarist played a 70's Les Paul Deluxe w/ a TP-6 tailpiece added. Great guitarist and a great band.
