A No Depression Most Memorable Music Book of 2022 The forceful
music that rolled out of Muscle Shoals in the 1960s and 1970s
shaped hits by everyone from Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin to
the Rolling Stones and Paul Simon. Christopher M. Reali's in-depth
look at the fabled musical hotbed examines the events and factors
that gave the Muscle Shoals sound such a potent cultural power.
Many artists trekked to FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound in
search of the sound of authentic southern Black music—and at
times expressed shock at the mostly white studio musicians waiting
to play it for them. Others hoped to draw on the hitmaking
production process that defined the scene. Reali also chronicles
the overlooked history of Muscle Shoals's impact on country music
and describes the region's recent transformation into a tourism
destination. Multifaceted and informed, Music and Mystique in
Muscle Shoals reveals the people, place, and events behind one of
the most legendary recording scenes in American history.
