Tucked along the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, barely registers on a map. But as Bono explains, there’s something in that mud. Discover how this tiny backwater town changed the course of modern music thanks to visionary record producer Rick Hall, who, together with a band of session musicians, gave birth to the soulful “Muscle Shoals sound” and made stars out of Aretha Franklin, Mick Jagger and Gregg Allman. More inspiring still, Hall and The Swampers create a space where black and white artists work seamlessly together, just down the road from Alabama’s burning racial crisis. Revealing interviews with countless icons serve up one of the greatest untold stories in American music.
