A panel about recording studios and the “Winnipeg sound” will follow the Nov 17 screening with several guests including Mike Petkau, JP Peters & Lloyd Peterson.
Tucked along the Tennessee River, the town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama barely registers on a map. Thanks to one visionary record producer and a group of unknown session musicians, the tiny backwater town changes the course of modern music. At the heart
of this fascinating history lesson is Rick Hall, who overcame a shocking past to found Fame Studios. Together with a band of buddies, he develops the deep soulful “Muscle Shoals sound” that reinvents the work of legends as varied as Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. Several enduring classics were recorded there including “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Respect”, and “Wild Horses”.

"A must-see for music fans, Muscle Shoals is a well made, endlessly fascinating and impeccably researched documentary that tells a riveting story. Camalier has unearthed a wealth of tremendous archive material... If you're a music fan, this is pretty much unmissable.” – MATTHEW TURNER
