The band went into the studio in Nashville, and cut a few songs while still a 4 piece. "Atlanta Burned Again Last Night", "Dixie Dreamin'", were both part of this first effort. Recorded by the 4 original members, Atlanta Burned actually broke thru on the charts and into the to ten, settling at #9 in Billboard.
Meanwhile the band was rehearsing in Atlanta for a debut show at what is now the Buckhead Roxy Theatre. Day long rehearsals were held for many weeks to ready the group and the newly hired crew.
The Mayor of City of Atlanta declared the debut day as Atlanta music day, and closed off a section of Peachtree road at the debut venue, the Buckhead Roxy theatre.
