Plus whatever they paid Jim Dickinson.

 

Wasn't there some story about the engineer unreeling the tape and making a mess of it - so he took it home and his mum ironed it to get the creases out !!

Sure i heard it on a Radio doc.

 

I watched on Netflix the other day. I really enjoyed it but where was Dave Grohl?

 

Bono wouldn't allow it.

 

I posted a separate thread about the "Muscle Shoals"/Johnny Depp/Richard Branson trio I read about recently on Variety's website. Thought it needed its own thread. Could be interesting, huh?

PBS replayed it last night. Loved it. I've always felt that chain of fools was the epitome of soul music and to find out a buncha white boys were the rhythm section on it was definitely a surprise. Also never knew that Clarence carter was blind. Very interesting doc with so much great music - I'd rather go blind, Aretha, slip away...

 

Just watched this documentary tonight. Very enjoyable. As I watched it, I was confused about 1 fact(or perhaps I wasn't paying attention.

After the Aretha/Ted/Jerry/Rick fiasco, Rick told the story that Jerry was done with him and would sink him. Rick later talked about what a bad time this was for him. However, when discussing the PATCHES recording, I thought he said he called up Jerry Wexler. I didn't recall hearing of a reconciliation, and since Muscle Shoals Sound Studios opened just a few months earlier, and was being used by Wexler, I'm not sure when the reconciliation occurred.

What did I miss?

 

Watched this great documentary over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. It's a must-see for fans of American roots music in particular.
