Buckle up, music lovers, 'cause I'm about to tell you 'bout a pilgrimage that went straight to the Holy Land of Southern sound – Muscle Shoals Sound Studio!This ain't just a studio, it's a time machine, baby. Walkin' through those hallowed halls, I felt the ghosts of Aretha Franklin's gospel fire, the echo of Mick Jagger's swagger, the groove of The Staple Singers still shakin' the walls. My kid, bless his cotton socks, he was wide-eyed wonder, soakin' it all in like a sponge in Alabama rain. Seein' that spark in his eyes, knowin' he was walkin' where legends once stomped, filled my soul with a melody sweeter than a Muscle Shoals rhythm section.The tour, y'all, it was an education and a revelation all wrapped up in one. Our guide,Terry, bless his storytelling heart, spun yarns like Duane Allman could weave guitar pickin'. He brought the history alive, paintin' pictures with words that made you feel like you were right there in the studio, watchin' Percy Sledge belt out "When a Man Loves a Woman". And the equipment, man, those vintage mics and consoles, they held the whispers of a thousand hit songs. Touchin' 'em, it was like shakin' hands with musical history. So next time you're near Muscle Shoals, don't you dare miss it. Grab your family, grab your soul, and head on down to the birthplace of musical magic. Tell 'em a music-lovin' soul from Georgia sent you, and prepare to get your heart thumpin' and your spirit soarin'. Just one word of warnin', y'all: Muscle Shoals Sound Studio's gonna leave you singin' long after the curtain falls. And that ain't no bad thing, now is it?

Very disappointing!! We bought tickets for November 24th months in advance. Without any notice we found they decided to close that day. We already traveled to AL! Since then I have tried to call them many times, leaving voicemails and sending emails to get the tickets reimbursed. Still waiting on their response!!!!! Suggest you check multiple times if they are really open!!!!!!!!

It was an honor to be inside one of the most iconic places in rock and roll history. The guide was excellent in telling insider stories about the songs and artists that made Muscle Shoals famous. I must admit, it was a bit emotional for me as I listened to tales about the soundtrack of my life. It was a moving experience. I am so glad that we made the trip.

Visited Muscle Shoals Sound Studios & enjoyed every minute of it. The tour was very interesting & informative. The Tour Guide, Terrell was AWESOME. He told us many stories about "famous" people who recorded there. We could "picture" it all as we stood in the same room used for the recordings. It was truly beyond amazing how many well known songs had The Swampers play on them.

Absolutely worth the trip just to go here! The story of the artists (The Rolling Stones, Cher, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Segar, Lynyrd Skynyrd…) comes alive with the intimate tour telling the story of the building, the Swampers studio muscians, and the huge part of musical history directly attributable to Muscle Shoals!

Excellent place to visit in addition to Fame Music Studios. Hear the stories, listen to the music, and see the artists who began their careers here.Although there is a newer and larger studio location, you'll appreciate the original sound studio.

This studio and tour was awesome! You could feel the magic in this one room, the tour guide took you back to its day and even the tourists were in awe of the music history that was made here. Our tour guide told countless stories of the people who recorded there including the Swampers. The studio was restored back to its original condition and is still used today.This is a must see for music fans! The tour was 1hr 20 min and definitely packed with a ton of facts and stories. We enjoyed it throughly the whole time!

Just an unbelievable experience. The last time I visited this sanctuary to rock legends, was back in 2015. The staff has done an amazing job in restoring the place, bringing back significant pieces such as the legendary baby grand piano, and bringing life back to this one disregarded treasure. But what really makes this a one of a kind place are the people who keep it going. You can feel the love and dedication they have for the museum and the community from the moment you pull up to the parking lot. And the tour guide was probably the best tour guide I’ve see anywhere. He knows the people, he knows this place, and he’s part of this wonderful area. His enthusiasm and love for the building and it’s history is contagious. I drove hundred of miles to come for a long overdue visit, and only regret that I took so long to return.
