Muscle Shoals Sound Studios - Amazing Music History in Northern Alabama

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs




We are on the road this week and our tour took us through Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Jimmy wasn't around, so we stopped in to see Noel Webster, the current keeper of the stories.
We have put the link to the studio at the bottom so you can look over the list of who recorded what there over the years. Simply amazing stuff. And, if you want to record and pick up the vibes from this building and its past, it only costs a grand a day to record there.
