Have I expressed my gratitude to the Terrace Theater lately??
Where else can you see great documentaries, like Muscle Shoals?
My son joined me for this homage to the Muscle Shoals, Alabama recording studio sound, and we were totally enthralled by it.  Not only was the list of talent interviewed long and varied (from Etta James to Bono) but the details about the formation of Fame Recording Studios and its competitors, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, were fascinating. As huge rock and blues fans, my son and I were impressed by the drive and skill of Rick Hall, and the bravery and determination of his studio band, The Swampers, who left Rick to form their own recording studio.
The music and period footage set a rich, deep mood, explaining some of the pull of the Tennessee River town of Muscle Shoals, and inspired me to play Southern Rock very loudly in my car, with the windows down and the wind blowing in my hair, all the way back to W. Ashley.  My last comment about Rick Hall and the Swampers....I bow to you; we are not worthy.
