Book Description
Long known as "the Shoals," Muscle Shoals saw its formal birth as an incorporated city in 1923. It really sprang to life in 1933, when the Tennessee Valley Authority took shape on the Tennessee River and became the nation's largest public power company. The construction crew for the Wilson Dam and power plant was one of the region's first racially integrated workforces. Some truly influential figures of the 20th century came to Muscle Shoals to witness firsthand what was unfolding in this tiny corner of the world. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford found themselves drawn to Wilson Dam and the nitrate plants in the early 1920s, as did the French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. At one time, Muscle Shoals was regarded as the hit recording capital of the world. FAME studio musicians referred to as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section gained notoriety as a result of the studio's success and are part of the legacy of the Muscle Shoals sound.

Book Description
The chronicle of the legendary Alabama studio brings to life decades of rock, blues, and R&B history from The Rolling Stones to The Black Keys. An estimated four hundred gold records have been recorded in the Muscle Shoals area. Many of those are thanks to Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and the session musicians known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section—also dubbed “the Swampers.” Some of the greatest names in rock, R&B and blues laid tracks in the original, iconic concrete-block building, including Cher, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and scores of others. The National Register of Historic Places now recognizes that building, where Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded the original version of “Free Bird” and the Rolling Stones wrote “Brown Sugar” and “Wild Horses.” By combing through decades of articles and music reviews related to Muscle Shoals Sound, music writer Carla Jean Whitley reconstructs the fascinating history of how the Alabama studio created a sound that reverberates across generations.

Book Description
From Dexter Johnson's garage studio to James Joiner's "A Fallen Star," Tune Records to FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound studios, Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones, from the beginning to present day-Muscle Shoals: The Hit Capital's Heyday & Beyond is an updated, expanded version of Music Fell on Alabama, the original book-length history of the Muscle Shoals music industry, first published in 1991, chronicling the cooperation of black and white producers and artists during one of the most volatile times in U.S. race relations, cooperation that produced many of the most celebrated and enduring songs of all time. Much has been written about the Muscle Shoals music industry and even a movie produced, most accounts crediting the area's phenomenal success to some mystical power divined from the Tennessee River. Myth makes for good drama, but Muscle Shoals: The Hit Capital's Heyday & Beyond details the true source of the industry's success: the tenacious determination of talented individuals obsessed with the desire to make a difference in music. And what a difference they made...

Book Description
The Muscle Shoals sound has appeared in many different incarnations, but over the past few decades, the bulk of attention has gone to classic records made in the 1960s and '70s at FAME and the Jackson Highway studio in Sheffield. While many of these records hold up as classics and the stories behind their conceptions are the stuff of legend and myth, there's been a hell of a lot of great music made in the Shoals since the demise of the original 3614 Jackson Highway and the shift in FAME's focus from recording to publishing.
