It is amazing to me that so much of my favorite music through my life has come out of this place. Such a great blend of country,r&b,soul and southern gospel! Between Memphis,Motown and Muscle Shoals, some of the best feel good music of all time!

memories that I will have forever wow, as a young man coming up on the southside of Chicago IL, I was greatly influenced my the sounds that came from The Shoals, Bobby Womack, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, The Staple Singers just to name a few! I had no idea I would one day get the awesome oppourtunity to record there with David Hood, Clayton Ivey and some of the greatest musicans in the world! Thanks fellas STAN MOSLEY

Recent visit to FAME & Muscle Shoals Studio was a blast! Also, the Alabama Music Hall of Fame is a must stop for music lovers. These musicians were amazing, in the same vein as the Wrecking Marchine & Motown's Funk Brothers.

I had heard some artists over time mention going to "Muscle Shoals" to record and had a curiosity about it. In finding my favorite Bob Seger track today (I'll post), the fan made video mentioned it, so I looked it up and found myself here. This answered the questions I had in just 9 min. & 7 seconds. VERY interesting, and it IS a very distinctive sound these studio musicians (seems unfair to call them they...they are obviously so much more) give artist's music.THANK YOU @dickatfame for this! :D

At one point in 1971, Bob Seger, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leaden & Linda Ronstadt showed up at the little Burlap palace. Linda was recording. Bob WAS TRYING TO MAKE a deal with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section so he could get started recording and the Eagles were just hanging out and spying on Linda which was a pretty good idea if you ask me! 😁

First and all the narrator needs to get back to the natural tempo we all speak to! MUSCLE SHOALS and STAX are THE two single words that a guy like me just adore and worship like nothing else. This is for me SOUL! When you got your soul together, then you can expand into the realm of real RHYTHM! Funk got so much to thank from these two legendary power houses!

My sisters and I were there last year (2018) for a musical tour - we went to FAME and Muscle Shoals and then up to Memphis to Sun & STAX...and in Nashville...The kids flew in to meet us and I don't even remember what all we did there! In every city, my sisters had to wait patiently for me to discuss Leslie cabinets every time I saw one ... But from this whole trip, nothing is so etched in my being as the VIBE inside the studio at 3614 Jackson Highway. Prepare yourself for it if you have not gone there yet. The very bricks vibrate. It's amazing. It feels like home.

Funny how most people believe the music and sound they loved came from motown. When it really came from the shoals. The shoals sound has much more of a roots sound. A real passion, pleading and soul sound. Whereas motown was way too polished.

"Mussel Shoals is in California." MUSCLE SHOALS" is in Alabama" and the Shoals portion of the Tennessee river is saturated with mussels, giving the area part of its name.

Anyway, he did very a nice job of acknowledging the participating musicians at Muscle Shoals, and this song is a great example of that amazing, unique sound.Thanks again for compiling this little bit of history for curious people like me!

The video had a split second of the opening of Brown Sugar. Lots of big hits came from this studio, but the three days in 1969 that The Stones spent there might be this studio's most famous specific sessions. To not mention these sessions, talk about dropping the ball. It's an insult to history.

Sound recording back then was detrimentaly scrutinized by the big money label marketing teams... They wanted Clean- Clean-clean recordings... Overdrive on the recorded Vocal mix, the drums , or keyboards was frowned upon. Yet Muscle Shoals Swampers studio musicians and engineers let the meters go into the Red. Overdrive, and hard driven preAmps yielded a raw robust sound that analytical studio engineers of the time failed to appreciate. ("No distortion") Give me that over- driven analog sound any day. Fuuuk Digital.
