- Summary:
- This book relates the history of the Muscle Shoals, Alabama, music industry focusing on Fame Recording Studio and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. Although the industry is far less prominent than it was in the '60s and '70s then serving a seemingly never-ending stream of country, rock, folk, and gospel recording stars, the studios continue to be a formidable force in the music industry overall.
