Today we're cranking the clock back to the heyday of "Southern rock" — whatever that actually means — with a guy who was there before it even had a label. Rodney Justo is one of the original founding members of Atlanta Rhythm Section, the band that gave us smooth, radio-perfect staples like "So Into You," "Imaginary Lover," "Spooky," and a deep bench of tracks that still pop up on classic rock playlists all over the country.

In this bonus pod, we talk about how ARS found that laid-back, melodic groove and why the songs still land with audiences in 2025. Rodney's spent a lifetime behind the mic, from early session work to fronting ARS on stages big and small, and he's still out there doing it.

And on December 6, he's bringing Atlanta Rhythm Section to Annapolis for one night only at Rams Head On Stage. We'll get into the stories behind the hits, the "Southern rock" tag, and what fans can expect when ARS rolls into town.

Have a listen!
