What an unbelievable tour. This small building produced the best music in the world. The tour guide made you feel like you were with the Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Segar, Cher - did I miss someone. A must see.
Fantastic

I was supposed to have came here to the studio in 1977 but life happened. After all these years God blessed me in finding a woman who loves music as much as I do. We visited you on our honeymoon. Thank you for your hospitality and in making a longtime dream come true. Phillip & Karen Andrews

Long live Rock and Roll
Marc_P, Nov 2022
Having grown up listening to all the bands that recorded at Muscle Shoals it was just so cool being on this hallowed ground. The fact that it was almost torn down but restored instead is fantastic. The two host are so welcoming and full of stories about all that went on there. Thank you so much. The studio tour was a walk back to a simpler time when music came from the soul of individuals with incredible talent even though they were just kids. Learning about The Swampers was so cool. Without these three musicians it could not have happened. A must do on all rockers bucket list!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
