Studio One (recording studio)
Studio One was a recording studio, located in the northern Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Doraville. The address was 3864 Oakcliff Industrial Court, Doraville Ga 30340. It is now occupied by a non related business and used as a warehouse.
The studio was constructed and designed in 1970 by audio engineer Rodney Mills, with the support of music publisher Bill Lowery and future Atlanta Rhythm Section manager Buddy Buie.[1] Lowery and Buie, along with the latter's songwriting partner J. R. Cobb and the Classics IV's manager Paul Cochran, were the studio's original owners.[2] The studio output included a diverse range of recordings by Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe South, Atlanta Rhythm Section, .38 Special and Outlaws.[3] Singer Ronnie Hammond also started his career at the studio, originally employed as an assistant audio engineer.
The Atlanta Rhythm Section was formed from session musicians used at Studio One and utilised the facilities extensively for rehearsals.
Studio One closed in 1989.
