Muscle Shoals Sound Studios surveyed by engineers – architects… Sentell comments on progress

3514 Jackson Highway – Legendary studio on the cusp of historic restoration.

3614 JACKSON HIGHWAY – Friday was quite a big day in The Shoals. For the very first time in its history, the Alabama Music Hall of Fame held an awards banquet here. That was big news.

Something else was happening just across the river from the Marriott… Recording Design Engineers and Architects were surveying the iconic 3614 Jackson Highway recording studio to make plans for the big revival there. Led by Beats Electronics’ Rafferty Jackson, the specialists from Los Angeles and Nashville went over the iconic recording studio with a fine toothed comb. They returned home with the data. and before long, Jackson promised, they will be back to rev-up the rebirth of 3614, along with some major improvements to the birthplace of Shoals Music, FAME Studios.

Alabama Tourism Director, Lee Sentell always seems to know where the good stuff is happening. while Jackson and the specialists were working, he happened to stop by, camera in hand. Sentell and Jackson spent some time discussing the plans for the rebirth. Afterwards, he had a few minutes to give an interview to The Quad-Cities Daily.
