Courtesy Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Just over two hours from Nashville, the north Alabama town of Muscle Shoals and its nearby communities became an unlikely but ultra-rich musical wellspring in the 1960s. And seems to have made history in every decade since, right up to today. A new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and a huge new book offer fans of American music two ways into this dynamic and soulful story.
