MUSIC FROM MUSCLE SHOALS
The Muscle Shoals Studio in Northern Alabama was a mecca for great recording artists throughout the sixties and seventies. The studio and its house band added distinctive rich flavor to everything recorded there. Come discover Muscle Shoals classics by artists like Wilson Pickett, Paul Simon, The Rolling Stones, the Staples, Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge, the Allman Bros., the Muscle Shoals Horns, Steve Winwood, Black Keyes, Boz Scaggs and others, all in search of that sweet Muscle Shoals soul sound. (And if you haven’t seen the 2013 documentary film Muscle Shoals featuring appearances by many of these artists, check it out soon on your favorite streaming service.)
