Welcome to Music Matters, a podcast series where we talk about all things music.

Today I have special guest Rodney Hall from the legendary Fame Recording Studios at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Fame is actually the same studio that was featured in a music documentary film

Muscle Shoals. How you doing, Radie? I'm good, how are you, Darrell? I'm good man. I see you got your

for your studio except yours is real by it's virtual

behind me. Yeah, this is I'm in studio be here at Fame. This is a studio that we

remodeled about a year ago totally get gutted it. We opened it up right before COVID, luckily.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we remodeled it completely. It was built in 67 and we gutted it and rebuilt the walls put in a

SSL 6,000 that we got from Dallas Sound Labs and I partnered with

Glenn Rosenstein who's a legendary producer engineer to do this.

So yeah.

Yeah, that's, I mean, the studio is cool.

I think a lot of people saw the film, Muscle Shoals,

and that's when I first became aware of you guys.

But of course, the studio's been famous and world-renowned since the 60s.

I really, when did the actually studio first open there?

I know it opened somewhere else before, but.

Yeah, it opened here in 62

my mom and dad and her her parents went to the bank and borrowed 12,000 dollars

yeah which is a lot of money back there.
