Muscle Shoals is a 2013 documentary about the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama.
This beautiful and unique film tells the story of FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. Located in Muscle Shoals, AL, theyre the birthplace of some of rock n rolls and souls most iconic songs. Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alicia Keys, Paul Simon, and many more recorded at the studios, and theyre all represented on the soundtrack by some of their most recognizable hits as well as a never before heard track from Alicia. This collection embodies the magical spirit of the area and legacy it forged. Its the perfect companion to the film and a wonderful window into Muscle Shoals.
Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of Americas 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, founder of FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, he helped defy boundaries and create unifying music. At the same time, he was instrumental in the birth of the Muscle Shoals Sound and The Swampers. Icons such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Gregg Allman, Clarence Carter, Etta James, Bono, Alicia Keys and more extol his work and that signature sound. The film illuminates just how influential this music remains today.
"Thirteen tracks could never do justice to Muscle Shoals, the Alabama town whose studios and session musicians revolutionized R&B in the Sixties. But as a souvenir of the current documentary, in which Bono, Keith Richards and Alicia Keys pay tribute, this will do just fine. Soul treasures like Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" will be revelations to the uninitiated. And the torrid solo by then-unknown Duane Allman on Wilson Pickett's cover of "Hey Jude" captures the Deep South musical miscegenation that helped make Muscle Shoals so boundary-breaking and still so thrilling to encounter."
