I don't know about that. They had very healthy record sales and radio airplay back in the day and never had to spend a lot of money on concert tours and such. They could walk down the street and not get mobbed by fans. Seems like a perfect situation to me.
After that, they continued to be in demand session players, which is how they started out.
I've wondered many times: Why didn't The Swampers find a singer and do the same thing? I think it would have been the most sure-fire gamble ever.
I think I've mentioned it on here before: ARS and .38 Special had the same producer in their best times.
If you can't hear the similarities, I don't know what to say.
One just needed to rock a little more.

Would they be considered "souther rock" in the vein of Skynard and Altman brothers?

Only by honorable mention due to geography. I remember thinking they were a little on the easy listening side even as a child when you heard them a lot on rock radio stations.

Friends of mine
Say I ought to move to New York
New York's fine
But it ain't Doraville.

They were not underrated at the time. "Rocknroll Alternative" was an accurate title.
This tune was a late night favorite of mine in college.

Think "Southern Rock" with a little jazz/funk/R&B influence.
They were all virtuoso musicians, so the fact that they liked to showcase the skills in different ways makes sense.

One of my all time favorites.
