Product Description
Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the
unlikely breeding ground for some of America's most creative and
defiant music. Under the spiritual influence of the 'Singing River' as
Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals changed the
world and sold millions upon millions of copies. At its heart is Rick
Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and
staggering tragedies, he brought black and white together in Alabama's
cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations while
giving birth to the 'Muscle Shoals Sound' and 'The Swampers'. Mick
Jagger, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Gregg Allman, Clarence Carter,
Etta James, Alicia Keys, Bono, and others bear witness to Muscle
Shoals' magnetism, mystery, and why it remains influential today.
