Unofficial trailer

Background

 "That Georgia Rhythm" began production in June 2015, and tells the story of Studio One in Doraville, a quiet suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Buddy Buie, Rodney Mills, Bill Lowery, Bob Langford, and Al Kooper played major roles in creating some of the best Southern Rock recordings of the 1970s.


During that decade, Southern Rock swept the nation with groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, and The Atlanta Rhythm Section dominating American radio. This film chronicles the rise of this influential music.


Featuring appearances by BJ Thomas, Ray Stevens, Butch Lowery, and other chart-topping artists, the film tells the captivating story of once-in-a-lifetime music.


Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle shares firsthand accounts of the 1977 plane crash that killed six members, including leader Ronnie Van Zant.


As the film unfolds, Rodney Mills, an engineer-turned-producer, emerges as the unsung hero behind the timeless music. Bill Lowery laid the foundation for future artists to gain national recognition with hits like "Freebird," "Spooky," "Games People Play," and other iconic 60s and 70s radio hits. Ray Stevens, Bill Anderson, and BJ Thomas discuss the impact of Atlanta on the 70s music scene.


Producer-engineer Bob "Tub" Langford, the musical architect behind "Freebird," shares fascinating stories from inside the studio and answers the question, "Why was that song so long?"


If you love Southern Rock, you'll love this film.
