Muscle Shoals Sound Studio SHEFFIELD, ALABAMA
How did a tiny concrete building at 3614 Jackson Highway in Sheffield, Alabama become one of the most influential recording studios in the world? That’s the magic question that brings thousands of visitors to this place each year. In 1969 the Swampers (aka The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section) founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and within months they were attracting hit recording artists from around the world who came to them in search of the signature sound that forever changed American music.

Through the generosity of Beats Electronics the legendary studio has been authentically restored. From the vintage equipment in the control room upstairs to the orange carpet in the Swampers’ party room downstairs, the building looks exactly as it did during those hit-making years between 1969 and 1978. Still a working studio; it continues to produce hit records and Grammynominated songs.
The Rolling Stones call it “rock and roll heaven.” Come feel the groove for yourself.
