Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You (1977)
There was voodoo in the vibes"
This really swings... just right. The Atlanta Rhythm Section will have you hypnotised with this...er...rhythm. Someone once neatly described this tune as like Steely Dan if they were southern rock. Then there's the whole relatable lyric that captures perfectly the intensity of an unrequited lusty obsession. I actually always thought it was about his new girlfriend until I read the lyric sheet today so it still works on that level of being so into your new honey that it's all you can think about.
You don't hear this song on golden oldies radio in Australia which is weird because it was a #27 hit but those stations seem to have set a particular playlist sometime in the 90s and now nobody budges from that oddly picked set of songs.
Peak 70s radio rock, it really doesn't get better than this.
PS
This groove is just the greatest. The band are all on it. A twenty minute version of So Into You would be just the ticket.
