Synopsis

In a tiny Alabama town with the curious name of Muscle Shoals, something miraculous sprang from the mud of the Tennessee River. A group of unassuming, yet incredibly talented, locals came together and spawned some of the greatest music of all time: “Mustang Sally,” “I Never Loved a Man,” “Wild Horses,” and many more. During the most incendiary periods of racial hostility, white folks and black folks came together to create music that would last for generations and gave birth to the incomparable “Muscle Shoals sound.”

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
masonfisk Muscle Shoals is a good companion piece to Standing in the Shadows of Motown, both docs detail the unsung heroes who played on most of the songs we have come to know & love at some point in our lives. It details the ins & outs of what made the studio what it is by the hard scrabble direction of its owner & the various artists who came to record there & their memories on what made that studio so special. A nice piece of work.
jimmajamesmann When I watched this movie it was by accident on Netflix. Man what a great accident! This moving picture of art hit me right between the heart and soul. It put me into perspective of some true bones of music! Well made and great information. Every Musician or creative personality should watch this. My passion for music became more intense after a lesson in pure spirit. This is a prize and if you set your eye's on this you win! I have always been involved in some kind of music from the time I was born and this movie proved to me that there is always something to learn. A work of art with a groove of gold, it really does move you and if you are willing to be moved then strap in get your popcorn what ever and enjoy.
colvin-4 Easily one of, if not THE best music documentary I have ever seen. So often these docs go flat after the first 20 minutes, none of that here! The visuals are fantastic and carry the show (as well as establish the sense of place) when the incredible music is throttled back. Underlying all of this is an incredible story of an incredible man, Jerry Hall, a man born in numbing poverty who somehow managed to rise above poverty and numerous personal tragedies to produce some of the most incredible blues and rock and roll recordings of all time. If you have access to this show and love music all I can say is WATCH THIS TODAY and prepared to be blown away!
yorkhouse-1 I just saw this at the George Lindsey Film Festival in Florence, Alabama -- right across the Tennessee River from Muscle Shoals. I rarely give 10/10 but this film is a gem. Photography, editing, sound values, emotional through lines, entertainment value -- this film has it all. Lots of great interviews and a kaleidoscope of personal memories from great entertainers, as well -- including Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Picket, and Alicia Keys, to name just a few. This film pulls you in and puts you there, back when a handful of friends got together and made music history in their own back yards. You'll be amazed at how many number one hits came out of humble little Muscle Shoals.
