Amazing Rhythm Aces. This one's called Stacked Deck. I fell in love with their song called Third Rate Romance back in high school in 1978/79. It was on a compliation album called The South's Greatest Hits. The Amazing Rhythm Aces are similar to what might be known as a roots music band. Yes, they could be categorzied as a one hit wonder band - but they have put out 18 albums spanning over 30 years, that time frame includes a 15-year hiatus. And this album could also easily be filed under Their First Record was Their Best Record. Rleased in 1975 on the the ABC label, it was recorded at the Phillips Recording Studio (named actually the Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio, on 639 Madison Avenue) in Memphis and was produced by band member Barry "Byrd" Burton. It reached #11 on the US Country chart. I've read that this album has later become highly-regarded by fellow musicologists.
