Muscle Shoals documentary

[Nick M]

Friday night, BBC 4 HD.

It's a documentary I've been meaning to catch for a while, so hoping it's been worth the wait.

Caught it on iPlayer. Fascinating stuff Enjoyed it a lot.

Anyone catch Sound City when it was shown a month or so ago? Equally brilliant and shocking to think about the sheer amount of incredible music that came out of those few studios.

Just watching this now following a recommendation from a work colleague, really enjoying the music documentaries on BBC4, especially Sound City.

I wasn't !! Finally sat down and watched it last night, and the music was just great. I knew about Muscle Shoals because of the tracks that the Rolling Stones recorded there, but the rest of it - WOW !!

What I found particularly powerful was the timing of when some of this happened, amidst the civil rights movement and in an environment where segregation was very real - and here were a bunch of black and white musicians making music which has not just stood the test of time, but arguably defines that era.

And it tells a similar story to Sound City, in that it brings out the passion for music of all the people involved.
