I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog. It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie. I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently. However, when I do that, I tend to not be nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.
In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits. Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles. Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.
Muscle Shoals is a little town in Alabama that houses one of the most famous recording studios ever.
If nothing else, you've probably heard the name dropped in Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama", having a whole verse devoted to them:
"Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they're been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how 'bout you?"
The Swampers were what the studio's rhythm section called itself, and man, could they bring the funk!
Often times when working in the studio, the group doing the recording has very little time to work up exactly how they're going to put the tune together. That never seemed to be a problem for these guys.
I'm really excited to see there's a documentary about the life and times of the studio that turned out so many hits for so many artists.
