About this album

The Boys From Doraville shows Atlanta Rhythm Section refining their Southern rock formula into streamlined, hook-driven songcraft. Released in 1980, the album carries the smooth musicianship and laid-back authority that made the band stand out from heavier contemporaries, balancing radio-friendly melodies with the group’s Georgia-rooted feel. Songs such as Cocaine Charlie and Next Year’s Rock & Roll underline their knack for character, pace and concise writing, while the title’s reference to Doraville anchors the record in the band’s home identity. It is a strong example of ARS’s polished late-period sound, where craft and accessibility stay tightly in step.
