This is for Muscle Shoals – This is for us.

SHEFFIELD- When David Hood used the phrase,”This is for us,” today, he meant FOR ALL OF US… the people of The Shoals. He was talking about the re-acquisition of  the historic “3614 Jackson Highway”… the studio that made him and his fellow “Swampers” famous. Yesterday in Huntsville, title to the property transferred to the Muscle Shoals Music Foundation from a private owner who had held the property for over 13 years. Rodney Hall, of FAME Studios and President of the Foundation signed the paperwork.

We caught up with David and fellow Swamper, Jimmy Johnson today (Friday) outside the front door to the world-famous address. We can’t call it a studio just yet. There’s so much work to do in bringing the place back to how it looked in its glory days. But that will come.

See our previous story 3614 Jackson Highway, the deal is done

Here’s what the guys had to say about the acquisition:
