American Music Town

There’s this magical small town in Northern Alabama, a two-and-a-half-hour drive south of Nashville, where they say the music is in the mud. And even though many music listeners may not know about the town, they are aware of its impact on American Music through the iconic songs they’ve heard on the radio. Songs like “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge, “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, and “Wild Horses” by The Rolling Stones are just a few of the big hits that have been churned out because of the creative energy captivated in the town of Muscle Shoals. 

Today's interviews include:
