"Muscle Shoals"
A special film presentation
Host: Ken Hunold, Dolby

Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama has helped create some of the most
important and resonant songs of all time. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, Rick
Hall brought black and white together to create music for the generations. He is responsible for
creating the "Muscle Shoals sound" and The Swampers, the house band at FAME Studios that eventually
left to start its own successful studio known as Muscle Shoals Sound. Gregg Allman and others bear
witness to Muscle Shoals' magnetism, mystery, and why it remains influential today.
This beautifully made documentary tells the story entirely with first-person accounts and
contemporaneous
session footage.
