Atlanta's Burning Down is the third studio album by Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers Band. It was recorded with his band "Great Southern" in late 1977, and released in early 1978. The standout tracks are "Good Time Feeling" and "Atlanta's Burning Down". The title track is a sentimental narrative about a soldier's wife being in Atlanta during the burning of the city, while he was fighting in Virginia. The Guest musicians were Bonnie Bramlett, Clydie King and Sherlie Matthews on background vocals.
