Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the debut full-length for the legendary Atlanta session guitarist and songwriter, the album introduces his iconic composition 'Games People Play'[cite: 1]. 'Introspect' merges country soul with sitar-laden psychedelic pop, pioneering a distinctive 'Cosmic Country' sound[cite: 1]. The record established South as a formidable solo artist capable of biting social commentary wrapped in lush Southern pop[cite: 1].
