This week’s edition of Deeper Roots visits the towns of Florence and Sheffield, Alabama, specifically the  Fame Records and Muscle Shoals studios, to revel in the production talent that was important to the growth of rock, soul, pop, and gospel in the latter half of the 20th century.  You may not be familiar with the history, and that can be easily remedied by watching the fine documentary of the same name “Muscle Shoals” which premiered at Sundance in January, 2013. Or you can tune in to our two hour episode to get a taste of the music (which you, no doubt, know) that was the soundtrack of a lifetime for at least two generations. When you consider that “Love Me Like A Rock”, “Wild Horses”, “Katmandu”,  and “Gotta Serve Somebody” are just the tip of the iceberg,  then you’ll want to know more about the four (yes, four) session musicians that crafted the very distinct sound that made the music as compelling as any other in the last century of America’s music.
