Stumbled on this film on PBS last nite. Incredible. I had no idea that this place had such an influence on the music I grew up with. Seems like they produced the best music in the late 20th century, from Aretha and Rolling Stones all the way Bono and Alicia Keys.
Would be wonderful to visit that area of the U.S....except for the bugs. LOL. Just watching all those rivers, legs, ponds, all I could think of was mosquitoes. LOL. Anyway the story of Rick Halls is not to be missed. His horrendous background and "pulling up the bootstrap" life makes for a terrific story not counting his strict work ethic , "diversity embracing" and meticulous approach to music making.
