I grew up just south of Muscle Shoals, out in the farmlands, back in the 80s. Jimmy Johnson, the guitarist there, is a distant cousin. I get emotional watching this. It's my childhood home. Music was so important.
I lived in Bear Creek Al from 87 to 93
This documentary is giving a totally different perspective on music love it.
Watched this about 5 years ago . What a great documentary.
So awesome how music brings people together.
I few other great documentaries are The Wrecking Crew, Stax Records
In The Shadows of Motown. Great reaction
we stopped by fame and jackson st. studios....just standing there where so many legends walked through...just awesome. also, this documentary is a reminder that music binds us all together. just an amazing documentary.
I’ve watched this documentary probably 20 times. I really enjoyed watching it with you my friend!👍🏻
Same here and currently watching.
I didn’t realize so much of the music 🎵 of my life came out of muscle shoals
Congratulations on your anniversary! Out of ALL the people who do reaction videos you are by FAR the BEST as well as my absolute FAVORITE! Keep up the EXCELLENT WORK!!!
Wow, thank you!
@@SoulTrainBro You're very welcome good sir! FYI... I'm not sure if this next suggestion falls under any of your categories but if you haven't seen it already I strongly suggest that you watch Prince "Sign O The Times" The Movie. I would REALLY love to hear YOUR reaction to it! You have an awesome appreciation if music AND talented musicians so this WHOLE concert movie SHOULD knock you OUT!!!
BTW....my FAVORITE reaction video by you is your reaction to Led Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song"! Maaaaan, I reacted the exact same way when I first heard the song back in 1986! I FELL OUT LAUGHING and CHEERING when I first watched your video. Bravo my Man!!!
@@seansherrod8725 first heard it in ‘86? You must be a youngin’! 😉
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 (Big smile and laughter) No actually I'm 54 years old. As far as rock music goes I was HEAVILY into the first 6 albums by Van Halen and Journey (from their earliest albums up to "Frointers". Being part of the original Motown family due to my grandfather's choreography work from 1964 to 1973, and my dad being the drummer for a band called Little Anthony and the Imperials my musical vocabulary is DEEPLY rooted in R&B & Soul music....MEANING: I found it extremely difficult to listen to bands and or music that didn't have some kind of "groove" happening. Most of the stuff that I had heard by Led Zeppelin from the kids in my neighborhood up until around 1982 ONLY rocked and I wasn't to crazy for it.
But then on my OWN, I eventually discovered songs like "Trampled underfoot" "The Wanton song", "Hey Hey What can I do", "In the light" "Down by the seaside" the song right before "The Lemon Song" off of Led Zeppelin II that starts off with "... AND IF I SAY TO YOU TOMORROW...", and then pretty much the entire "Presence" album, "Fool in the rain", and South Bound Saurez".I was forever HOOKED! What can I say I'm a LATE bloomer.
This is my third watch of this doc....love it...history is my passion...ty...your the best.
This is a great documentary....thank you @Soul Train Bro.
You might like to catch “ BEWARE, MR.BAKER” excellent doc of drummer for Cream, Ginger Baker.
Oh dear God, that would be AWESOME!!!
I'll check it out!
Excellent
What a great documentary - thx so much for this Wayne.
I have to disagree with Elaine that the documentary starts out slow. It's magnificent from the "get-go".
This is the 5th or 6th time i've watched this documentary. I love it! I live about 90 miles from Muscle Shoals. I'd recommend another great documentary, 20 Feet from Stardom. Great job man.
Helene (Evelyn) here......Hi Wayne.....I bet you thought I only watched Zep reactions, didn’t you? 😁. I watched this documentary for the first time only a few weeks ago, and was amazed at all the music history I was totally unaware of....A little place like that could become the nexus of so much great music.......and the fact that, basically, this recording studio came with its own session players.....What a story. I’m so glad I watched it.......take care.....
Swampers to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2025!! Who's with me?
I am really enjoying watching this with you guys. I had already seen it twice , and have told many people that they have to watch it. Looking forward to part 4!!!
Fantastic documentary, thanks for this STB.
Thanks for listening
Eee really miss
Wonderful, that's all I can say, just darn wonderful!
Thanks for taking the time to review
I’ve been meaning to watch this film. Really enjoy this. I feel like I’m watching with you. Wish you lived next door
Kuddos to Rick Hall for having the foresight to film himself in studio and in business. It's not like today with cameras everywhere and filming was inconvenient and expensive back then.
"Patches"! When my 22 year old son was little, we would sing along to that song to him while in the car, but instead of "Patches," we'd substitute our son's name- "Paxton, I'm depending on you, son, to pull the family through..." Nice memory.
What a treat. Thankyou. Always wondered who the swampers were and muscle shoals when i heard sweet home alabama
I was an AM DJ back in the day and Percy came to our station to do an interview. Back then that’s how u got a record moving !!!!!!!!!
I just found you. Great take. I felt like I was sitting there with you. You didn’t over talk and the input you gave was point of fact. And yes forging Valyrian steel. I’m a part time blade smith. I’m subscribing to your channel. Good job!
Welcome aboard!
Proud to be a Alabamian . I love our sounds it's a spiritual place ,we have meshed and blended our cultural struggles. Only in the big cities do you see what's being reported.
Hi Wayne, I’ve been with you since your first Zeppelin reaction. I grew up and still live in the Shoals. I would be thrilled to give you the grand tour. Free room and board just minutes away from the studios! Hit me up anytime.
#BeenWithYouAwhile! Much love and respect Wayne! Peace!
I remember "patches" from when I was very young. Wow this is somthing.
This is one of the best documentaries ever. I live in Alabama about an hour away from muscle shoals. Was young when this was happening. It was an awesome time.
You are without a doubt the smartest, most knowledgeable and interesting music reviewer on UA-cam. Thank you for your contribution and content.
Appreciate that
Fastest click I've done in a while. Thank you!
I grew up in Muscle Shoals and Florence Alabama. I spent my teenage years in the 70s. Class of 76 y'all do the math. I remember all these people coming to the city especially the rolling Stones. There is a restaurant across from the studio called the biscuit village. Lot of teenagers hung out in the parking lot waiting for the artist to come and go from the studio.
Shout out to you brother!!!
I didn’t know you’d done this, it’s just something that anyone who likes music should see this. ❤
I would like to thank you for presenting this documentary...it has touched me deeply.
Me too : )
i live no more than 15miles away i love this doc ive been trying to tell more people about where i'm from where i travel each Wednesday where i see my self living in 20 years from now the property values have reached to the heights of 350k-5mil
but hopefully i can be somebody one day too!
So glad you have reviewed this great documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that you're viewing this great documentary! I have the dvd. Great stuff!
About Dolly. We have to remember there were no social safety nets back then, nothing to help the people who needed help the most.
I’m Canadian. I remember my parents saying it cost $100. to deliver your baby in hospital. My older sibling was born in the 50s. I was born in the 60s, seven years later. By then it didn’t cost anything.
Using tax dollars to support people became a right of citizens in most European countries by sometime in the sixties. The birth control pill was available in the sixties, too, so you could plan how many children you could afford, or want.59:00.
1:30, Patches. I grew up listening to my parents partying, playing good music, while I was in bed. I still have those old records. There’s one by O. C. Smith. It has Patches on it, and lots of good tunes. It’s called The Son of Hickory Holler’s Tramp. He recorded other albums, including one called Hickory Holler Revisited.
lol, It wasn’t until years after UA-cam got going and I listened to Hickory Holler’s Tramp with adult ears that I realized what the song was about. Patches is the next song,iirc.
Trivia: There’s another song called Patches. It’s about two people being in love, and the girl lives on the wrong side of the tracks. I don’t know who sang it because I’ve only heard it sung by friends. It sounds like it might have been recorded around the time when there were a lot of hit songs written about love and car/ motorcycle crashes.
Man, did u ever get a chance to show this movie to your pops?
Great page you have,
Cheers
YES, YES, YEEEEEEESSSS!!!
If you want to see a great documentary watch "Tom Dowd" the language of music. He was the sound engineer for Atlantic. He is like the Forrest Gump of music. Everyone from Ray Charles to the Allman Brothers. This is great also.
Tom was a part of the Muscle Shoals story!
So glad to see you've found this and also Festival Express.
Your on the money....music that means anything is usually born of struggles or grief....the old saying...what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger...
That's hilarious that Jim Dickenson says no one was 'drinkin' or druggin'' during the Stones sessions right after the clip of Mick sitting at the console with an open bottle of J&B in front of him.
Follow your soul…….it knows. I knew from the time I was 13 that I wanted to be a Paramedic. I was 22 before I reached that goal. It took a lot of work and some help from the Lord but I finally had my chance and in my interview I told the big boss that if I was hired I promise I will never be a problem employee and I never was. I have some very rewarding memories and some others that have caused me much PTSD. I am now retired after 32 years. But would not change it for love or money !!!!!!
Thank U so much !!!
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!
Thanks for letting it flow. Great job.
Rick had the proverbial “golden ear”. Ronnie was only about 5’8” but was mean as a hornet when drinking and would fight anyone and usually kick their ass. Allen Collins was about 6’ 3” so when they are next to one another their is an obvious difference.
Been here since the start! 😁
Want to encourage you to check out Rumble: the Indians Who Rocked the World. It explores not just the rockers, but the places they came from and the cultural history of those places.
My mother said she could hear the voices of her long-gone family in the section on Alabama and the women telling the tales of the water in the music.
Just like Bono and Jerry say early in this documentary. (We're in Oklahoma 3 generations now.)
Love your stuff.
I’ve seen this great documentary on tv before. It was fun to watch it again, thank you! Have you watched “Festival Express” ?
Not yet!
@@SoulTrainBro hopefully soon!
Been with you from the beginning.
#BeenWithYouSince2019 Sending love!! You are wonderful! I've been meaning to see this documentary too. Good to see it for the first time along with you.
keep up the great work man,i love it,im drinking a beer and enjoying the music and your reactions or should i say your i enjoy your company while im watching your channel and listening to the greatest music that ever was!
I appreciate that
Like Keith said, "It's in the grooves..."
Gratz, and TY!
This is my all time favorite documentary and Bro your my favorite reactor, where did you go?
the sword has been remade - one of best music docs I ever seen
I've watched this So many times I've got to take my shoes off to count and I'm running out of toes
Wayne, review the Skynyrd’s First And Last Album. It’s the one Jimmy Johnson referred to being recorded @ Muscle Shoals. So many gems written by Ronnie Van Zant and the boys who at the time were just teenage kids!
link?

@@SoulTrainBro here’s a great cut from that album. I also sent you the link to the entire album, but I’m not so sure that you wouldn’t get a copyright strike if you posted it. Definitely check it out for yourself regardless! You’re great!

@@SoulTrainBro here’s a little more historical info regarding those recordings from The Swampers themselves. Wow! WHAT A STORY
ua-cam.com/video/WIvenWN9TQE/v-deo.html
Glad to see you going this direction. One of the most fascinating documentaries on music is about the legendary Atlantic Records Producer Tom Dowd. It's called "Tom Dowd: The Language of Music". This man's history, and I'm not talking about just music, will blow you away! Here's a link to the trailer so you can judge for yourself.

Thank you showing this i cant believe ive never saw iy
Really? It's in the top 5 best music docs! Plus it's in my top 11 most viewed videos. Led Zeppelin has the entire top 10, 4 years running.
Amen 😊
Two points I'd like to make: 1) Soul and Blues music sounds best when it is raw, like they did in Memphis and Muscle Shoals. When Barry Gordy tried to clean it up and add orchestration, it sounded nice, but it lost its grit. 2) Music did more to bring races together in North America than any act of Congress
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
He went trough hell in his life ,but Rick hall was a genius out of music producer.
That was one crazy documentary... There ain't no way those guys were white!
Brother if you still haven't been, please plan to visit. I would love to take you to my favorite catfish joint! Easy drive from Huntsville Airport. Just over 2 hours drive from Birmingham and about the same from Nashville.
I love this film it’s such a great subject. I think you would love Sound City. It’s awesome
Sound city disappointed me. Maybe if I had seen it first, it would have been better but it seemed like the whole story was about the mixing board. Muscle Shoals made it more about the people.
My home town
Thank You for watching this. I've tried to get so many reaction channels to watch this. They just don't know the history of great music.
Well said!
bet you wanted to kill that dude with the weed eater
♥
I'll watch a music doc with you anytime, you're good company. BTW have you watched 'Standing In The Shadows Of Motown' about the Motown session players?
Yes it's great! UA-cam blocked it though.
I'm sorry to hear that. I appreciate how you pay tribute to the link between rock and R&B.
Seriously
America is going Down, down down.
Unfortunately, you are right.
