Stillwater

Stillwater

Digitally remastered and expanded edition includes 12-page full color booklet with 4,000 word essay, new interview, enhanced artwork, and rarely seen photos. Includes two bonus tracks. An impressive seven piece hailing from Macon Georgia, Stillwater first arrived on our radar back in the seventies when they were filmed by the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test program playing in a local club as part of Capricorn record's annual picnic. The track shown was 'Sam's Jam' a masterful guitar-drenched epic that sent a shock wave through the ranks of Southern Rock aficionados. Some of us have yet to recover from that program. Formed in the early seventies and featuring a classic three-man guitar line up, the band courted much attention eventually signing with the Macon-based Capricorn label, home to The Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willie, amongst many others. It was a fitting pairing, with the band attracting much attention, earning strong praise and delivering one of the finest albums of the period. Paired with Buddy Buie, songwriter and producer for the Atlanta Rhythm Section the band recorded their album at the legendary Studio One facility in Doraville.
