Muscle Shoals

Or the number two hit Loves Me Like a Rock from 1973.

It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Fame Studios with gospel group the Dixie Hummingbirds.

She loves

me.

Clay Chalk will have Austin coming in.

There's a lot of these that, you know, honestly, just first blush, the one that might be the most competitive, Oxford's hosting Muscle Shoals.

And I think that could be a pretty competitive ballgame first round.

So, otherwise, you know, it's hard to say.

Yeah.

Another seven-layer dip from somebody.

He's headed to the Lincoln for the game and his mom's birthday.

She get down on her knees and hug me.

It's excellent.

Do you want to take us through some of the other references in here, Mike? well at the end of the first stanza max um in reference to this terrorist act the narrator says that all of us take the blame all of us i'm going to use shorthand and say all of us southern men because neil young is going to be referenced obviously and he wrote a song called southern man but meanwhile the swampers that we discussed in the first episode in Muscle Shoals, are making music with everybody in the sun, under the sun.

They're making music with Wilson Pickett.

Wilson Pickett comes to town.

Aretha Franklin comes to town.

And my note is, how can it be one way in Birmingham and another in Muscle Shoals? And the answer, I think, is because...

it was different but to the outsider looking in birmingham stood in for if not all of alabama you know all of the south um neil young is talked about southern ma'am and southern man in alabama both songs critical of the south and so there's a line in the song where where the narrator says neil told some truths with alabama and southern man but there were still good people here and then the line from the song is neil young wasn't around And I have a note in parentheses after that, you should have gotten to know us better.

And then later in Neil's memoir, Waging Heavy Peace, which came out in 2012, he wrote, I don't like my words of Alabama.

We wrote pretty regularly.

Chris grew up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, came up playing music on the Gulf Shores, and one day at one of our writing appointments, he came in and he had this thing started.

called Bama Breeze.

And it was really kind of about, you know, a real place that he played, but it was a little bit, you know, made up too.
