Duane Allman played some of the greatest guitar ever on Pickett’s version of ‘Hey Jude’. The story I read was that Allman was in the studio at Muscle Shoals using a Marshall amp with the volume cranked up to ear splitting levels. Pickett got on the phone and told friends about the crazy white boy who was a genius on guitar, but who was blowing everyone’s ear drums out.

Toured the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 2019. Great fun and a real history lesson.

Muscle Shoals Sound
Excellent documentary

For me, “The Muscle Shoals Sound” is cemented in the song Funky Broadway. And the memorable bass line in that song was played by Tommy Cogbill, a studio musician from American Studio in Memphis. The great Roger Hawkins on drums, Spooner Oldham on organ, Jimmy Johnson on rhythm guitar.

This article is part of a 6 page USA Today supplement my sister gave me yesterday. It is stunning, to say the least.
