Muscle Shoals - International Trailer

When Rick Hall opened up his record studio FAME Studios in the small town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, it became something of a rock 'n' roll myth when some of the finest music ever written began to pour out of it. Hits from the likes of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding became international, and Hall even managed blur the distinction between white and black a little as his all-white session group, The Swampers, became deeply respected among the funk and soul artists. After the session group separated themselves from Hall, some of them set up their own studio, the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and became the Muscle Shoals Sound Rhythm Section. From here, musicians began to shine their brightest as The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan all left that town as legends as if enchanted by the beauty of Muscle Shoals.

'Muscle Shoals' is an incredible music documentary featuring interviews with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Bono, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Percy Sledge, as well as Rick Hall himself, and has first time director Greg 'Freddy' Camalier (who worked in production on 'Skills Like This' and 'The Ten') at the helm. The documentary will unveil in the UK on October 25th 2013.
