Oh my God! I have known about this film for years now, and I finally get to see it! I am so thrilled by this news... it's about darn time they got the backing to release it.
I think that I first "heard" about these guys in the early 70's, literally after listening to them playing on all those hit records for nearly a decade!
I can hardly wait! thanks for posting this...
While I enjoyed the Muscle Shoals film (and certainly THOSE players were iconic!), it seemed the filmmakers went to a whole lot of trouble to make the film more spooky and mysterious than it really was... the owner of the studio was just a head case, mostly, and a lot of that music got made DESPITE Rick's idiocy. I just thought they went to great lengths to aggrandize and heighten the studio owner's shortcomings and attitude problems... as I said, I did enjoy Muscles Shoals a whole bunch, though... and I thought that "Twenty Feet From Stardom" was even better produced!
