Excellent documentary about FAME Studios and the Muscle Shoals sound. It's a very well-produced account of the history of one of the world's most productive and special music places.

I've stood outside of both buildings featured (covid so no entry allowed) and they are special places in a part of the world where it isn't expected yet isn't surprising.

The rooms here created a sound that is worthy of being spoken about in the same breath as Motown's Funk Brothers, the Wrecking Crew, or MFSB of Philly.

Those white dudes sure can play...

As a documentary, it is is superior to Standing In The Shadow of Motown or Wrecking Crew... But it lacks live music. I would have liked to hear more of the men play their hits with guest singers. That's a small short-coming as the rest was fantastic.
