Muscle Shoals
The incredible true story of a small town with a big sound.
Directed by Greg 'Freddy' Camalier
A celebratory documentary about how a small Alabama town's musicians transcended racial division to create enduring soul and rock music.
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.”
