A lot of folks don't know that Paul Simon skipped on on quite a few studio bills, that he NEVER paid.
RIP Jerry Brown
So cool to hear the real details, petty feuds and accidents of history. These guys are all legends of American music but are actually just regular good ole boys at the end of day
God bless the free spirit of Skydog, Brother Duane Allman. Talk about fiery comets that blaze across our orbit for so brief a moment in time.
One of his demo disks is more profound than modern stuff that takes years to complete, check out ALL THE LOVE I EVER HAD.
"Can you survive at all costs" Patience
I have an FScott Fitsgerald drawing 4/86 but i cant find any other of the 86 and cant find it on web
God I wish there was more pics of Roger Hawkins when recording. Would love to see the mic's and placement
Great song.
Wow that brings a million miles of smiles for Bro Duane's Ingenious attitude of life's true values and freedoms😁
That is my grandma lol💕 Taught me all I know. Literally the strongest and wisest woman ever🌸
Beautiful women creating beauty with little multiplies that beauty. What a joy to hear their wonderful story.
i remember this guy from when i was a kid, used to visit him very often.
Go head on brother inlaw love sister-in-law.
Pretty much the same thing happened to Billy Joel and his first album. Billy had to take a few days in a hospital.
Rest in peace Roger Hawkins. A Legendary drummer and all around good guy
I’d like to visit your studio someday...God willing I can make it to BAMA...
Didn't know Mr Johnson passed- Will Rogers said : " You know a man's impact on the world by how much he's missed -" Jimmy Johnson is a man who is missed

Oooooo...k!
I met David Hood when a friend of mine invited me to go to the inaugural US Grand Prix in Indianapolis. I had never heard of David before but being stuck in a car for hours during a rain delay before the race David told numerous stories about his life. I did not know I was with R&R royal. David visited my home and fell in love with our standard poodle Caesar and to this day he has owned standard poodles. He is a wonderful man,I am blessed to have met him.
The one part of the story that doesnt add up is that if a tape gets flipped "around" the music comes out backwards. So do the vocals. I am not sure what happened, but an average engineer or someone familiar with the recording process would have picked that out in a heartbeat. There is more than one tape when shopping the deal as well. To be taking this around and listening to it in this context makes no sense. So Im supposed to believe this manager went label to label, listening room to listening room and not one person picked up on the fact it's simply just playing backwards? That was actually a popular tape effect back then after Jimi did it with Experienced. This story still doesn't pass the smell test here...
Wrong... it wasn't flipped end over end, like you're implying. it was simply turned over horizontally. Another internet expert on nothing.
Love your art
Jerry was a great potter
Rest in peace Jimmy Johnson. You were one of the greats and the Shoals will miss you forever.
Prestige!
....Wow, that’s cool... thanx guys (all four)!
I toured the Muscle Shoals Sound studio two weeks ago. AMAZING! I do not understand how The Swampers are not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The sidemen category is made for them!!
They are too good for the r n r hof-
@@davidrice3337 they should be but at least they were inducted into the Musicians Hall of fame in 2009 it is located in Nashville, Tennessee. They were also selected for The Alabama Music Hall of Fame which is more of an honor than most of the rotten roll hall of shame.
@@kenperk9854 I think a couple of those guys passed recently- what about the gal that played bass guitar!
They're in
Long comment, so I'm sorry! My dad is the "boy from Winfield" Jerry apprenticed in exchange for face jugs. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I've been putting a bunch of Jerry Brown things together for him, and he saw this today. He teared up and laughed at the bit about him deciding he had gotten all of the face jugs he wanted. Just... it was such a great moment. He'd never seen this clip before and I'm sure you're aware Jerry passed away a few years ago. It meant a ton to him and me! Thank you!
Dont know if anyone knows this fact but PATTERSON hood is DAVID hoods son. Patterson of course is the creator/guitarist and singer for the awsome DRIVE BY TRUCKERS. Check out their album/cd Southern Rock Opera if you havnt heard it. It focuses around skynyrd, the crash, ronnie and neil young, patterson not into skynyrd until WAY later after hi school. And other cool things about southern culture thrown in. All their albums are great but EVERY skynyrd fan should own this recording. Jason Isbell who founded DBT with patterson hood left the band a couple years after southern rock opera and has his own band Jason Isbell and the 400 unit.
Ben Hubar Isbell wasn’t a cofounder of DBT he actually joined the band in ‘01 I believe but yeah
I think Jason played on the Southern Rock Opera tour but not the album itself, he was an official band member after that for... I think 6 years? DBT and Jason are great talents.
Paterson and Jason Isbell are in bed with black lives matter. No longer Southerners.
These guys are awesome and made some great records at that studio, but i have yet to determine if there really is some technical, identifiable aspect(s) of the "Muscle Shoals sound" that made so many artists want to record there back in the 70s, or if it's just "because so and so recorded there"? Nobody in the movie actually explains that...does anyone have an answer, just curious...
It's fine with me when people claim they don't enjoy hearing the early greats in music. Each to their own, What gets under my skin, is when they criticize them. The frontier artists had talent, that wasn't assisted by technology. Duane Allman is easily one of the headliners. Why that little rural Alabama town hosted so many greats, D. Allman arrived, others followed. Someone had enough foresight to understand magic was being made.
You forgot the part where he got injections of painkillers and drank too much.
Charlie Lucas tell the truckers to be kinder
I grew up next door to Woodie, Dot, Reese and Donna. Woodie has touch my soul more than any being ever has. I think about him often and look at his art constantly. His art feels like a safe haven for me. He and his family were more like family to me than my own family. Woodie would be my Patronus.
Great message and historical fact. Hank Williams, a class act!
Powerful
Amazing skill- from a potter in the UK.
That's my Great Grandma! I love her sooo much!
i didnt learn squat from this boring minute!! muscle shoals blows!
Like the song, it blows 🤮 chunks
What a wonderful True Folk Artist ! This video is just wonderful to watch and a fantastic teaching clip. His simplicity is very refreshing.
"The real and the Father Foundation BLues is Charley Patton" According to Patton's friend Booker Miller, Patton began playing guitar in about 1910. Before 1910, black folk songs with the word "blues" in them were already around in Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and apparently in Tennessee. Handy said himself many times that his blues music was based on folk blues music. The exaggerated title "Father Of The Blues" was in the context of publishing 12-bar "Blues" as sheet music. His earliest published tunes weren't blues and his first blues "Memphis Blues" was actually about the fourth 12-bar "Blues" published as sheet music by anyone, but he was the most successful producer of published "Blues" in the country during about 1913-1916, influencing countless others. Handy wasn't originally from the Delta and in his autobiography he describes himself as hearing the 12-bar "blues" "Got No More Home Than A Dog" in Evansville in the 1890s before he moved to the Delta.
The Swampers have had such a monstrous affect on so many great artists' albums that I'm not sure that it's possible to really quantify it with out going through their entire discography and listening to all the tracks they are on! It's one of the most impressive lists of music you'll ever see!!! Almost unbelieve!!!!
IMac nerb
Well Muscle Shoals has got The Swampers, and they've been known to play a song or two
