Spotlighting the quietly influential and legendary sound of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the new star-studded and definitive homage album—Muscle Shoals…Small Town, Big Sound—will be available at all digital retailers on September 28. This arrives just in time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the “Muscle Shoals Sound.”
This once-in-a-lifetime collection unites eras of GRAMMY Award-winning, multiplatinum superstars on one album for the first time. Powerhouse performers such as Steven Tyler, Chris Stapleton, Grace Potter, Alan Jackson, Brent Smith of Shinedown and many others breathe new life into seminal classics by The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Etta James, and more originally birthed in Muscle Shoals throughout the fifties, sixties, and seventies. In order to re-cut these gems, most of the artists made the trek to FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals to record alongside homegrown musicians, channeling the “Muscle Shoals Sound.”
Dedicated to Rick Hall’s memory, a portion of the proceeds benefit the GRAMMY Foundation as well as the Muscle Shoals Music Association and The Muscle Shoals Music Foundation.
