Just a quick head's up here. If you're in the U.S. or can otherwise get the broadcasts of PBS, on Monday night, April 21, there's a documentary about Fame Studio, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and the house band that played at both, the Swampers. Ho-hum you say? The list of artists that recorded at the studios, most backed by the Swampers, include Arthur Alexander, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Joe Tex, Clarence Carter, Etta James, the Stones, Duane Allman, the Black Keys, Candi Staton, and Tom Jones among many others. Here's just a few.
