Atlanta Rhythm Section (1975) All Night Rain

A quiet storm number from ARS, a Southern Rock band that took over from bands like the Allmans and Lynrd Skynrd in the second half of the 70s. Their form of gritty blues was often filtered with a smooth soft rock vibe as is displayed in much of their work particularly this number. All Night Rain was their smoothest number with a loose jazzy arrangement of acoustic guitars and their fluid slide guitars and keyboards. It's an ode to bad weather, as singer Rodney Justo croons in a Adult Contemporary style about how all night rain is made 'for all night love'.
