Muscle Shoals Documentary
 

Fellow insomniacs....I just watched a fantastic documentary on Netflix that was originally a PBS production. I pulled this from this from the filmmakers website to describe it....

"Located on the banks of the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of the most creative and defiant music in American history."

I had never heard of it but a gentleman named Rick Hall started producing music and the talent and songs that came out of there is staggering and all this
despite much of this music being produced during a time when george Wallace was decreeing segregation must be the way of the land and Martin Luther King calling for civil disobedience, somehow, all these musicians from diverse backgrounds were jointly making amazing, historic music in Alabama in a small studio next to a working cotton field.

This is just a sampling of the artists/songs.....
