Buttermilk Bottom (MP3) Click on the link to hear this tune, a soul / funk song about the Atlanta neighborhood known as Buttermilk Bottom. The crime-ridden neighborhood was identified by city leaders as a slum and they decided the entire neighborhood needed to go, so it was torn down to make way for the Atlanta Civic Center, which opened in 1968. Buttermilk Bottom was recorded for an album that was to be the soundtrack for a movie about Atlanta's post Civil War development and history, according to producer Tommy Stewart. He made the comments in an interview that was posted on the Pass The Feeling blog. "In March
of 1973, Mr. Ed Waller dropped by Lance-Arnold
Recording Studios to see me. At the time I was
producing and arranging for several R&B and funk
artists. A partial list of these artists were as
follows: Billy Byrd, Southside Coalition, Thomasina
Walker, Calvin Arnold, Videlore Jordan, Prophecy, and
Liz Lands. Also, we recorded the rhythm tracks to "Let
It Flow" and "Boy You're Growing on me" for Tamiko
Jones. The whole interview, including detailed information about all the recording sessions for this project, can be found here. Want to hear some other Atlanta-related records? They can be accessed here. |
