The Shoals is a Music-Lovers Mecca

A silver trailer sits in a grassy yard with metal chairs and firepits, the sign reads "Welcome to city of Muscle Shoals, Hit Recording Capital of the World."

The famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio is today a museum and recording studio.

The Northern Alabama region known as The Shoals is widely acclaimed as the Hit Recording Capital of the world. From Native American legend to Grammy Award winners, any musical talent you can name has passed through the recording studios. The four-city area on scenic Tennessee River is not only historic but beautiful as well.
