“That Muscle Shoals Sound” is a tribute song for Jimmy Johnson and The Swampers, (Barry Beckett, David Hood and Roger Hawkins). The song lyrics and official music video tell the story of a hopefully guitar player who thumbs a ride to Muscle Shoals to get a job at the Muscle Shoals Sound recording studio. The storyline is fashioned loosely around Duane Allman’s venture to Muscle Shoals and artist Rick Revel’s own experience in the music business. The video is like a journey back in time when Southern Rock was born and Swamp Music dominated the charts. The song is hot, but the video is hotter.
