Georgia

At a time when rock & roll didn't care about its roots, the Georgia Satellites came crashing into the charts with a surprise hit single to remind everybody where the music had come from. The hit single, 1986's "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," rocked as hard as an old Chuck Berry song, as well as being almost as clever. The Satellites weren't a back-to-basics roots rock band, either – their straightforward sound borrowed equally from Berry, the Rolling Stones, the Faces, Little Feat, and AC/DC, with a Southern backwoods bent. At their best, the Satellites were just a damn good rock & roll band, driven by the classic yet fresh songwriting of lead singer/guitarist Dan Baird. On the strength of "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," their first major-label album sold well, but the follow-up, Open All Night, did not; radio and MTV had treated the band as a kind of novelty – a bunch of hicks kicking out rock & roll offered a break between the slick pop-metal of Bon Jovi and the introspective pop of Peter Gabriel. By the time they released Open All Night in 1988, no one was interested, even if the album was only slightly weaker than the debut.

Bessie Jones, John Davis, and the Georgia Sea Island Singers gained wide renown during the 1960s and ‘70s for their powerful performances of traditional songs from the African American Gullah Geechee community on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Most in the group were born and raised on St. Simons, and could trace their ancestry to the enslaved West and Central Africans who worked on the island’s cotton plantations. Throughout the ‘60s, the Georgia Sea Island Singers were prominent voices in the civil rights movement, bringing hundreds of years of Black musical tradition to bear on a pivotal time in American history.

The Georgia Satellites are captured in all their prime rock & roll glory on a new previously unreleased concert album. Lightnin’ in a Bottle: The Official Live Album chronicles an 18-song set at the Cleveland club Peabody’s in 1988, a few months after the release of the Atlanta band’s second album Open All Night and a year after the widespread radio success of their Number Two hit “Keep Your Hands to Yourself.”

The best dance songs are about dancing. Dance music is self-referential: Here is a song about dancing that will make you dance. It’s a simple transaction. There’s a magic to it, an acknowledgement that the song is a tool for you to use to free yourself. “About Work The Dancefloor,” the highlight from Georgia’s new album Seeking Thrills, is conscious of its own utility. It’s a song about itself. “I was just thinking about work the dance floor,” goes its grammatically awkward hook, just the sort of self-fulfilling gibberish that is liable to get stuck in your head. It treats the dance floor as a sanctuary, a space for personal transformation and revelation. “I don’t have much in terms of money now/ I don’t have material gifts for you,” she sings on the song, her voice pleading. All she has is the music, and she wants to capture that feeling before it’s gone.
