"Muscle Shoals has the Swamppers and they've been known to pick a song or two"....Sweet Home Alabama..... Lynard Skynard
The key to Muscle Shoals was having a group of guys who could work with anyone. You guys are the modern day version of that. Love you guys.
The Muscle Shoals Studio with its phenomenal house band produced tons of great soul and R&B records. Everyone wanted to record there. I’m thrilled you two are doing music docs. No one else is! ❤❤
This is an incredible documentary. The Wrecking Crew about the session musicians in LA is really good, too.
I agree that both vids you mentioned are fascinating. But what makes me prefer Muscle Shoals is that the Swampers were funkier, even grittier, than the smooth, slick LA group, LA made "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" -- one of the artistic low points of the 60s IMHO. MS/ The Swampers made "When A Man Loves A Woman." Not saying that LA didn't do classics ("Good Vibrations"); but the MS guys are the ones who get my toes tapping.
I completely agree with the Wreckers, its a classic. Also Scorsese's the Last Waltz is an honorable mention.
THIS IS WHY I ADMIRE THIS CHANNEL LIKE I HAVE FROM THE START !!! YALL TAKE THE MUSIC SERIOUSLY !!
MUSCLE SHOALS IS A HUGE PART OF THE HISTORY OF ALL THE MUSIC WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE !
THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE IS WHAT SETS YALL APART ! I enjoy EVERYONE OF EM !
MISSISSIPPI ROCKEN APB !!🎉
LONG TIME !!
In the Lynyrd Skynyrd song SWEET HOME ALABAMA, you’ll hear the lyrics “Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now, how 'bout you?” This is what they’re referring to. You guys are awesome, and I love watching you guys discover great music. You lured me in with all your Steely Dan reactions and when I saw the appreciation you had for the Aja album, I was hooked
Thanks for rocking with us my friend!!
I've always heard 'Muscle Shoals' in Sweet Hone Alabama & I knew about Muscle Shoals, but I never got the whole sentence with 'swampers' etc. Very cool, thanks!
This documentary blew me away too! I never realized just how important Muscle Shoals was to the future trajectory of music. R&B, the British Invasion, Southern Rock. Most importantly it was about the music. If you could sing, if you could play you were welcome. A wonderful melting pot of musical talent
Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa is a nice place to stay if you want to visit. Drive over here to Mississippi and check out Dockery Farms and dozens of other historic music sites. The Mississippi Delta region is the Birthplace of American Music.
Muscle Shoals is in northwest Alabama, right near where Alabama, Mississippi & Tennessee all meet up.
Pretty much... I live plus or minus 15 minutes from Muscle Shoals....
Another key to The Muscle Shoals Sound was that the rhythm section is pushed forward in the production. Drums, bass was in front of the vocals. A signature.
Please finish this so many Great artists cut there stuff there. Little story D. Almond left Cali. put up his little tent & camped out there for a couple weeks to just b able to play with these guys. U guys will learn The Rest Of The Story as u go on. Greatness came from there.
You mean Duane Allman … not D Almond. He slept out in the parking lot in a tent and said he would work for free . They gave him a shot and he blew away Rick Hall with his guitar playing. Duane played on a bunch of tracks for many artists and the rest is history
There is another documentary you should check out and this guy was an engineer in muscle shoals. Tom Dowd and the language of music.
I just knew this would blow you away. Bet your jaws are still on the floor!
Y'all won't believe the songs that came out of the Shoals. The Stones cut "Brown Sugar" there. Bob Seger cut many of his studio records with the Swampers, including "Night Moves". Aretha. Wicked Wilson Pickett. Bob Dylan. Paul Simon. Percy Sledge. The Staples singers. Leon Russell. Sooo many hits, with that bunch of white boys backing them.
Great reaction! Next stop, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” and “The Wrecking Crew” about some more amazing studio musicians.
Standing in the shadows is next!!
@airplay_movies You might consider A documentary called Sound City. It's something that was put together by Dave grohl and he bought an old studio board from Sound City and then he tells the story of all the groups that had recorded through that board. I can't remember all the groups but I know Fleetwood Mac and Jackson Brown had recorded there and there's so many more. It's a really good documentary. Peace!
You two are fantastic! I absolutely love it when you guys release a new reaction!
Oooooh!!!! One more doc to add to the list: “Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story” about the Stax/Volt house band from the 60’s. I’ve never seen that one before. Hell, I’ve got to add that one to my own personal viewing list!
This is awesome guys. So much of our great music came from there!!!!
I'm so happy that y'all are watching Muscle Shoals!!! It will blow your mind at what iconic records came out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama!!! I live in the area and it still amazes me!!
My Mom grew up in the area, she called the local river “The Singing River”. She always said that the river was alive..
Muscle Shoals and Standing in the Shadows of Motown are my two favorite music documentary. The Swampers, the Funk Brothers and the Wrecking Crew are the greatest bands even
I love how bewildered Che is. Stick with it, you’ll get it and love it!
Nice. I would certainly recommend to you the doc on the Wrecking Crew groups of LA studio muscicians. Bet you'd dig it from what Ive seen
When the Indian people tell you the rivers singing what better place to put a record Studio🤯❤
Lynyrd Skynrds line in "Sweet Home Alabama" is as follows , Muscles Shoals has the Swampers! ...never understood what the hell that meant , until this doc! ❤
This is one of my favorite music documentaries. It's an incredible story. So much legendary music came out of there. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you guys for sharing this amazing documentary. I've heard about Muscle Shoales for years but this is the first time I've watched the doc . I can't wait for part 2, thank you 😊
One of the best Documentaries ever made, PERIOD. Muscle Shoals is not really on the Alabama line, its in the Northwest corner about 40 miles from Miss. and 40 miles from Tennessee. Its three cities clustered together, Florence, Sheffield and Muscle Shoals Al. I think Florence is where North Alabama college is at.
You need to check out Standing In the Shadow of Motown about the Funk Brothers, & The Wrecking Crew about the Musicians who played on most of the 60s & early 70s hits. You gentlemen have the Best reaction/ analysis channel out there.
I'd seen this a couple times; It's a good one. I recommend "20 Feet from Stardom" about female backup singers.
Keith Richards. So far, He's outlived all of them...
Loved this! I too never knew about the legend of Muscle Shoals. Had to immediately go watch the whole documentary, but will be back watching along when you finish it!!! The last half is mind blowing. Thanks guys.
Outstanding documentary and reaction! The first 20 years of my studio experience was in old analog recording rooms/equipment.
I got used to Pro Tools and the digital environment, but my heart is buried in the “old days” and the classic recordings.
Peace
Great documentary! Thanks guys! 😊 I live about 60 miles from Muscle Shoals and saw this doc awhile back. My husband and I went to Fame Studios about a year ago. Inside there are pictures on all wall space of the artists who have recorded there. It seemed like a special place to me, steeped in the history of the music that came from there. I enjoyed going immensely.
I read that when conditions were right late at night parts of England (like Liverpool) could pick up US AM radio and these kids would lay in bed at night listening and absorbing this soul music.
This was awesome! I never heard of this before. Now I have to go do my homework. Thanks for playing this!
That was the fastest 25 minutes and 12 seconds in the history of planet Earth. Can't wait for the next vid.
I've still got my OG Muscle Shoals T-shirt from when my father recorded there in the 70's. I don't wear it anymore and have thought about maybe framing it. A nice little piece of history.
Who's Dad?
Magic. So cool to see you guys doing this... And to see the light bulbs flicking on.
I'm really happy to see you reacting to this one. A lot of the music you've reviewed and liked came out of those two studios
Those connections that your neurons are making as you watch this is why we all told you to watch this!!
So happy to see you guys get it you’re making all the connections now. I can’t say it enough, music is the thread that brings us all together ❤
The other city is Memphis (Stax Records).
as soon as I saw you were doing this I got excited - for you ! I knew you would love it . we can hear it in your voices how much it hits you . I love it .
Can’t wait for you guys to react to the rest of the documentary.
The great grandmother that walked home to hear the river sing and the wife who died so tragically both those stories brought a tear to my eye.
Duane Allman was all over Muscle Shoals
Can’t wait for the next episode.
I figured you would love this. Its one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Grab some popcorn and drink and what ever else you want to imbibe in. And sit back and enjoy. You are in for quite a treat. Thanks fellas for sharing this.
I had the privilege of spending a weekend at the 1st US Grand Prix ind Indianapolis with David Hood,bass player. David told me many stories about his career. Awesome weekend!
20:10……”the other city?”.
Ahh, MEMPHIS! W.C.Handy, Furry Lewis, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Booker T and the MG’s, BB King, STAX, HI, Ardent, American Sound. Get some.
It special when a group of musicians start speaking the same language
A look or glance and they know what to do
I’ve never been fortunate enough to have that but I’ve seen with some others. They become one and seem to elevate the room. Magic.
I didn't really know anything about Muscle Shoals but this is incredible... can't wait to watch more. Thanks Bros.
South of Tennessee guys. Your learning the history of Muscle Shoals Alabama, not any particular band. Rick Hall was the late owner of Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals AL.
This is one of my favorite documentaries. Anybody who cares about music will probably like it.
The song "I'll Take You There" that was playing after the Aretha Franklin commentary is a song by The Staple Singers, not Aretha Franklin.
Other good music documentaries are… a.k.a. Doc, Thomas sugar man 20 feet from fame jazz on the summers night the Newport Jazz Festival
Y'all should hit "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", about the Funk Brothers, the Motown house band. Another gre4at music film is "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music", about the legendary producer Tom Dowd, who did dozens of fabulous albums, including the Allman Brothers, Derek and the Dominos "Layla", and so many more. Both are excellent music films.
If you guys haven't seen it already, there was a docu/concert film made in 2002 called "Standing In The Shadows of Motown". It's about The Funk Brothers... the studio musicians that played on all of the Motown hits... Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Supremes, Four Tops, etc. They were basically the Detroit equivalent of The Wrecking Crew in L.A. Also... you should watch The Wrecking Crew documentary too, as well as The Stax Story.
Hi guys...... I live in Southern Tennessee not far from Muscle Shoals Alabama. I drive past Rick Halls Fame Studios just about every week. That place has such a musical history. Knowing the story I marvel at it every time I pass through.
Skynyrd came out of Muscle Shoals, Bob Segers first big studio albums came out of Muscle Shoals. Beautiful Loser and Night Moves. Rod Stewart’s first big solo album was a Shoals project. Duane Allman first recording is from there. Great History of music came from their.
I recommend 20 Feet from Stardom about mostly unsung background singers.
This will give you an education, make sure to watch the Stax/Memphis Documentary and the great one about Motown and "The Funk Brothers". All Americans should see this stuff.
Next on your musical journey might be...standing in the shadows if motiwn....who were the musicians on all those motown hits?
The soundtrack is made up of songs & artists recorded at Muscle Shoals, with the Swampers, for a time including Duane Allman on guitar, assisting. This was the R & B I first heard growing up in the ‘60’s, and I loved it. Check out the 2 Duane Allman Anthology albums for his work with Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Boz Scaggs, King Curtis, Ronnie Hawkins & others. ❤️🎶
Muscle Shoals College! Beatles College! YES! Motown College next? (Standing in the Shadows of Motown) Its a good one!
So you gonna show the rest of it????!!! This may be my favorite music doc. It's a go-to when I have the time. LOVING your reaction. Please show the rest.
Oh so happy you lovers of the craft of music, engineering , and talent of the greats watched this Documentary!.❤
I highly recommend the Next Documentary be " The Wrecking Crew"....an ensemble of the best studio , for hire musicians of that era! ...much love and best wishes , gentlemen!
I've seen this documentary. Hang on y'all bout to be amazed and get a musical education. Looking forward to your next video.
Isn’t this a great documentary?! Watched it a couple of years back. I had no idea about all that music history. Amazing place. Amazing people. Amazing time
You got to go there. Went last September, first to FAME then over to The Muscle Shoals Sound where the Swamps went when they broke away from FAME. While at FAME my buddy Neil and I got to talk with his second wife who they don’t really talk about in the documentary. She was great. Tried talking my boys (all adults) that they need to see these places. But they don’t get it. I got intrigued because of The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. But then saw all the music of my youth and so many other songs and bands I love. Glad we went. This was our third trip from Nashville, Jack Daniel’s, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Ole Miss. Georgia Tech game, Elvis’ birth home, Corinth, Shiloh, Memphis, to where Patsy Cline died. Football, historical places and music.
I live in the Shoals, pass by “FAME” and “MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND” at least once a week! Awesome place to live, and still a great place for music! I have been watching y’all’s reactions for over a year now, really enjoy them. Was hoping y’all would do this one day. Need to come visit us someday, think y’all would love it here. Ran into a couple from Wisconsin last week coming to visit Fame, Muscle Shoals Sound and Ivy Green.
Also highly recommended is the documentary film “ Echo in the canyon “
Laurel Canyon Story about the California sound , most of the greats were involved …
Love Peace and Soul
Also watch the Wrecking Crew and Memphis Sound docs
It's fun to watch again, especially with good company. I'm an older woman now, mostly laying in bed with my ME/CFS that is boring the hell out of me.
(Hey, keep remembering to watch the female artists for my female heart. ❤️ 💙 💜 )
“Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now, how 'bout you?“
Why Bono? Why? Why is his the first voice we heard? Why are this suburban middle class white Irish dudes (like me) opinions on Muscle Shoals considered to be relevant? I want to watch a music documentary and NOT find out what Bono thinks, for once.
There is a Rockumentary sequel to thus callwd The History if Soutgern Rock that us excellent
Hi La and Che… “ loan me a dime” boz scaggs vocals Duane Allman guitar.. written by Fenton Robinson… the greatest 13 minutes song in history
Muscle Shoals is amazing. Great reaction as usual from y'all. Thanks !
Just an amazing story and documentary. Just shows that high tech has nothing to do with great music. Another good doc is "Hitsville: the Making of Motown" which came out maybe 4 years ago. Keep up the great work, fellas!
So glad you guys checked this out. This film, The Wrecking Crew and Standing in the Shadows of Motown are absolutely essential to anyone wanting to understand popular music in the 1960s in America. Some of the greatest music in the world created by guys that looked like grocery clerks as Aretha said.
Hey from the Shoals!! We still have a lot going on in the music world! So glad you reacted to this! I was born and raised here and grew up listening to some of the best music in the world! We are in the very northwest corner of Alabama. I live 4 miles from Fame studio and 2.4 miles from 3614 Jackson Highway.
I have watched this documentary a couple times. It's a fantastic glimpse into what was essentially a Hit factory.
Amazing. I've known the name Muscle Shoals for a long time but like you guys never knew much about what it actually was.
I wish I could have been there when you discover this music that was developed in 'Muscle Shoals. I was born in the early 50's and grew up listening to this music in the 60's. A few years ago the first time I saw this documentary blew me away. I too did not know a bunch of white guys were behind this great sound. Check out the documentary about 'STAX' records out of Memphis Tennessee. You may be surprised about the history and some of the musicians. Also, pay close attention how they came up with the name "STAX" records.
I'm glad y'all found this, it a great watch, especially for y'all having been in the industry, this is some grass roots Sh*t here.
I lived in Muscle Shoals for about 10 years and being Lynyrd Skynyrd my whole life I knew if the swampers but that's about it. As far as I know the old Fame studio is still standing. I'm not claiming to be some type of Muscle Shoals guru. But it's really nice to have that connection.
Also, Bob Seger used the Muscle Shoals studio musicians for entire sides of albums. Not sure how many but it started with his Beautiful Loser Album also on Night Moves, Stranger in Town and Against the Wind albums. I might be off on some of the albums but I don't think so. If memory serves me correctly, I remember Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section credits on the album back covers.
Rick Hall died not long after Gregg Allman and I gotta say what loses! It was Rick who put Muscle Shoals on the map and how about what they did with getting Aretha her first hit?!? Thanks guys.
This is so interesting. I watched it a couple times before and I love it. Me not living far from Muscle Shoals Alabama makes it even better.
Superb doc guys this one but when you’ve done this you must see the wrecking crew it will blow your minds!!! Love what your doing 👊🏼
What a great doc! Love the Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman collab on Hey Jude!
I watched this when It first came out so happy,You're gonna check it out and do it in a long format. Looking forward to the next one. Much love from Lawton Fort Sill Oklahoma.
I'm anxiously waiting for you bros to get into the rest of this movie. It is full of what we (my band mates from the 60s - 80s) called "war stories." Some are funny, some are insightful, all of them are fascinating and inspiring.
So interesting to hear all of this history. I know Michael McDonald sing a song on a Muscle Shoals album it is Cry Like a Rainy Day. One of my favorite songs. Thanks guys.
There was a deeper soul with Otis and Aretha down there, but that’s not to knock what Berry Gordy was doing in Detroit - incredible.
Amazing documentary. You have to check out sound city next!!!
Down the road in 1968 / 1969 Duane, Allman pitched a tent in the front yard of Fame studios and bugged them every day to play. He became one of the Swampers, and there are two double album discographies called …. Duane Allman an Anthology. it will show you the greatness and versatility of Duane in the songs, in the hits that he played on , you want to check them out sometime
Guys I’ve decided I’ll take this ride with both of you. As I’ve only heard of Muscle Shoals. Rather than dive into this rabbit hole alone. Id rather be with the two of you. ❤
Some of the Greatest music ever came out of that little town… Fame Recording Studio and Muscle Shoals Recording Studios… Great job guys y’all have a great channel with all these different music reactions 👏
I love this documentary! Being an Alabama girl I’m a little biased but I think some of the greatest music has come from Alabama and Alabama musicians! The studio is worth a tour.
Thanks, gents... This is just what I needed this morning. You two are always on the "one"... I appreciate it so much ❤.
