As we near the end of our series covering the ‘boutique’ studios from Memphis to Muscle Shoals, we will spend the last few shows sizing up the way that things panned out for the offshoots of the two biggest players in this series.

For this and the following show, we will follow the progress that took place at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
