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.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough to talk about being one room full of history and one hour but they did a classy good job. Everyone was asking questions and tour guide had concise, quick answers for all. Had a wonderful experience. All 6 of family members agreed

This is a tour of a small 25x50 foot studio that had a huge impact on the music world. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, with many anecdotes about stars from Cher to the Rolling Stones to Lynyrd Skynerd and more. Totally enjoyed it!

This tour was great and a must when in the area. So many well known recording artists have recorded here in their early days.
