The Spirit Of Atlanta. This is a rare, hard to find album. The LP has not been open and still is sealed. There a hole in the cover (see upper right hand corner) of this album otherwise, it's in great condition. On this album there are seven songs: SIDE One: (1) Hunter Street, (2) Buttermilk Bottom, (3) Peachtree Street, (4) Auburn Avenue Vine City. SIDE Two: (1) Freddie's Alive and Well, (2) Messin' Around, (3) Down Underground. Price Includes Free Shipping.
Review: While essentially a vanity project for composer/producer/arranger Thomas Stewart, backed here by a cadre of "Hot 'Lanta" session players, The Burning of Atlanta is nevertheless an excellent funk LP that boasts the panoramic scope of a classic blaxploitation soundtrack. With the vocals embedded deep in the mix, the emphasis lies squarely on the record's intensely hypnotic grooves -- most of the tracks extend past the five-minute mark, with the epic "Messin' Around" clocking in at nearly twice that total. Stewart's dramatic melodies also boast a sheen recalling Curtis Mayfield's classic Superfly -- and just in case you couldn't place the reference, there's even an answer song: "Freddie's Alive and Well."
