In the latest Truetone Lounge, we take a trip down to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to meet up with Swamper, Jimmy Johnson at 3614 Jackson Highway, home of the Muscle Shoals Sound. In our interview, Johnson covered everything from his early days as Rick Hall’s first employee, through all of his groundbreaking work with Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bob Seger. Along the way, we get amazing anecdotes about Tom Dowd, Jerry Wexler, Arif Mardin, Duane Allman, Eddie Hinton, and Pete Carr. Jimmy also shares of his involvement in the award-winning Muscle Shoals documentary, and how the film came to fruition. Jimmy passed away on September 5th, 2019.

Jimmy was not only a great player but a super nice guy as well. At least he was every time I was with him! I went there several times with Don Nix, I didn't record there for my self but Nix did and loved those guys as well,. We went down to see Levon Helm there and did some background vocal overdubs for the boys back then. Nix took me to Malaco in Jackson, MS. for my first album in 1977 & 78. Don said they were the new "Muscle Shoals" rthymn section at that time. Don loved all those guys and going down there with him was like a family reunion! The interviewer seems very knowledgeable too and that makes this all the more special. God bless you Jimmy and all the boys in Muscle Shoals. You are missed greatly!!!

I had the truly amazing pleasure to sit and chat with Jimmy when he toured in the UK with his son Jay a number of years ago. It was an absolute joy to spend a few hours with him and he was a true gent and keen to answer all of the gazillion questions I kept throwing at him. They did a great little gig in the pub that night too. Sad that most of the people there had no clue about Jimmy's history, all the great music he had been part of, all stuff that they would know, for so many decades. An absolute legend. RIP Jimmy.

Yeah those older guys playing every genre, including country, had less distractions, TV etc, so they had to entertain themselves and music was more practiced on the average. The country swing guys were doing fusion from literally every direction and a lot of that influx lent itself to country via studio musicians backing early Loretta Lynn or Earnest Tubb etc. And country swing itself becomes just brilliant with guys like Al Stricklin's piano or Junior Barnard's Epiphone Emporer with the hot steel guitar pickup . . . hell any of those guys in Wills band.. . Yeah I agree you very rarely hear instrumental excellence anymore and nowhere is that more evidenced than in contemporary country. That's not the only genre that's hurtin' for musicians anymore by any measure. I will limit my critiques to my own though, lol.

Here's some info on Terry and the other members of the first Muscle Shoals crew. There's a feeling about Muscle Shoals music shared by many in the industry, that it's unlike any other in the world, said William Lee Golden, a founding member of the country group, The Oak Ridge Boys. Golden, a Brewton native, recalled recording several albums in Muscle Shoals in the late 1970s and mid 1980s. "It was some of the best music The Oak Ridge Boys ever put out," Golden said. On Thursday, three pioneers of the early Muscle Shoals music scene - Jerry Carrigan, Bobby Denton and the late Terry Thompson - were honored for their contributions by being inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. "At first, it didn't hit me," Carrigan said after learning of his induction. "My word, did they just say that? It gives me chills. It's just really incredible. I'm really happy." Carrigan was a drummer in what would become the first incarnation of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, a group of session musicians that recorded tracks at places such as Rick Hall's FAME Recording Studios. Donnie Fritts, who was inducted in 2008, said Carrigan, Thompson and Denton deserve to join him in the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. "These guys were there from the beginning," Fritts said. "It's good to see them recognized." Fritts, Carrigan, Thompson and Denton were part of a group of young musicians who were active in the early days of the Shoals music scene, along with Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham and Earl "Peanut" Montgomery, who Fritts believes also should be inducted. "Jerry, Terry and I were part of the drug store group," Denton said, referring to the recording studio that was built above the old City Drug Store in downtown Florence. "I stapled egg cartons on the ceiling and the walls," said Denton, dressed in a suit and fresh from the floor of the Alabama Senate. He and Tom Stafford, who started Spar Recording Studios, went to Nashville to pick up the recording equipment, Denton said. "Jerry Carrigan was a kid, like I was," said Denton, who decided to forego a career in music to work at the Ford Motor Co. plant in Muscle Shoals and raise a family. "We all hung out at that old drug store." Denton went on to record "A Fallen Star," which was released on James Joiner's Tune Records Label. Denton performed a song he wrote called "The Lord's Prayer" before the banquet Thursday evening and later performed "A Fallen Star." More than 50 years later, Denton has been honored for his contributions to Shoals music. He also was the legislator who pushed for the creation of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. "The thought of being recognized like the musical greats of the past from Alabama, that's going way up the ladder," Denton said. "At my age, it's a nice gift that I can take with me and leave at the same time. I'm really appreciative." Carrigan's drums were featured on some of the earliest Muscle Shoals recordings of artists such as Arthur Alexander. He later worked in Nashville with the likes of legendary pianist Floyd Cramer. Sheila Thompson Kenum, Terry Thompson's wife, said it was wonderful that her late husband was being recognized with the induction. "I only wish Terry could have been here," Kenum said. Thompson died in 1965. Rick Hall, another one of the "drug store group" who went on to found FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, recalled how Carrigan's father would bring him to sessions and set up and break down his drum kit. "We were all starving to death and looking for a gig," Hall said. "None of us wanted to work for a living. We were just young musicians and artists. It was us against the world." Carrigan, 66, was inducted into the hall in the Music Creator category, while Denton, 71, and Thompson were inducted in the John Herbert Orr Pioneer Award category. Fritts said he grew up about four blocks from Terry Thompson in the old East Hills section of Florence. He said Thompson would come over to his house and his dad would teach him "old school, big band guitar" chords. "Terry really loved the fact that my dad would take the time to teach him jazz chords," Fritts said. "Terry was always very close to me." He said Carrigan "has no idea how many hit records he's played on." Country and pop artist Mac Davis, who recorded with Hall in Muscle Shoals in 1962 and again in 1972, said he's tried for years to figure out what was so special about Muscle Shoals and its music. "It must be something in the river," Davis said. "I don't know what it is, something in the creek." Davis said he came to Muscle Shoals to record because "that's where the hits were being recorded." Davis recorded the hits "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me," "Stop and Smell the Roses" and "One Hell of a Woman" at FAME. Although he is not an Alabama native, Davis said he was honored to receive the Jerry Wexler Award, one of the contemporary awards given out by the Alabama Music Hall of Fame board. "I was really shocked when I found out I was going to be honored that way," Davis said. "I'm quite surprised and happy." Singer/songwriter Mac McAnally, who splits his time between his home in Nashville and his home and recording studio in Sheffield, was presented with the Arthur Alexander Songwriter's Award during Thursday's event. "That's an honor in itself," McAnally said. While he didn't know Alexander personally, McAnally said his songs influenced the soul, rhythm and blues and country musical genres and beyond. "To be given an award with his name on it is not to be taken lightly," McAnally said.
