Muscle Shoals

"Any discussion about American music that doesn’t include Muscle Shoals, Alabama isn’t really a discussion at all.” That’s a direct quote from the website of FAME STUDIOS. We had a chance to visit Muscle Shoals and the 2 studios that stayed undercover for most of the 60’s and 70’s while legends came to record with a producer and a rhythm section that should be household names. Join us at the table as we discuss the music of Muscle Shoals. If you’re a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan you may have caught the name Muscle Shoals in some lyrics, but you may have NEVER EVER heard of this place and that’s ok. But if you love music, you’re gonna wanna pack your backs and make the trek. WE promise. It’s worth it! Mentioned in this episode: Dockery Farms Episode (Blues) - Muscle Shoals Documentary - FAME STUDIO - MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND - The Swampers interview (2008) with Musicians Hall of Fame — Huge thanks to Linda Hall (wife to the late Rick Hall) for giving us time and to both FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound for the tours!
