The Atlanta Years (2005)

“"The Atlanta Years" is worth investigating. Nine studio cuts are appended with seven live performances. The studio sides find Marriott still capable of delivering the bluesy rock that he built his name on. His voice is still full of raspy splendor on “Heartbreaker,” a funky organ-driven R&B shuffle, and laced with whiskey on “Ain’t You Glad (New York Can’t Talk).” The Cockney swagger of “Poor Man’s Rich Man” is classic Marriott, and a bridge between his time with the Small Faces and Humble Pie. The songs have a work-in-progress feel, but are still developed enough to stand on their own. The live cuts are sweaty slices of Marriott in his element. Listen as he takes the crowd through the 15-minute assault of “I Don’t Need No Doctor” or the cranky “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” full of tight guitar licks and double entendres. Humble Pie “The Atlanta Years” could just as well be called Steve Marriott, "The Atlanta Years", as he is the driving force behind these recordings.” (Classic Rock Music Blog)
