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.

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.

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.

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.

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. <3
