Description:
The story behind the fabled recording studio
Out of an Alabama community known to few came an outpouring of music known to all. Muscle Shoals: Low Rhythm Rising is the story of Black and white musicians who found a way to work together at a time when segregation prevailed. Producer Rick Hall and his FAME Recording Studio and the session aces at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio built a homemade approach to cutting music that mattered. As a result, hitmakers from R&B, rock, pop, and country music flocked to this quiet backwater to record. A new rhythm rose. This book, the catalog of a major multi-year exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, traces how it all happened.
Country Music Hall of Fame(R) and Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the evolving history and traditions of country music. Through exhibits, publications, and educational programs, the Museum teaches its diverse audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music.
