Located alongside the Tennessee River, MuscIe Shoals, AIabama is the unIikely breeding ground for some of America's most creative and defiant music. Under the spirituaI infIuence of the 'Singing River' as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle ShoaIs changed the world and soId 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 raciaI hostility to create music for the generations while giving birth to the 'MuscIe Shoals Sound' and 'The Swampers'. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Percy SIedge, Gregg Allman, Clarence Carter, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Bono, and others bear witness to MuscIe Shoals' magnetism, mystery, and why it remains influential today.
