Muscle Shoals Sound Studio Tour in Sheffield Alabama

Muscle Shoals Sound Studio Tour in Sheffield Alabama

Overview

In 1969 the Swampers founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and within months they were attracting hit recording artists from around the world who came to them in search of the signature sound that forever changed American music. Through the generosity of Beats Electronics the legendary studio has been authentically restored. From the vintage equipment in the control room upstairs to the orange carpet in the Swampers' party room downstairs, the building looks exactly as it did during those magical years between 1969 and 1978. Peek into the bathroom where Keith Richards put the finishing touches on Wild Horses or sit at the piano that Paul Simon played on Kodachrome.

Learning more about the time period I grew up in. Plan on going back before we leave to go to Florida. The guide was so informative that my brain went in overload
