RIP Rick Hall

Sad news from The Shoals.

http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.s ... music.html

Rick Hall, the founder of FAME Recording Studios and a pioneering powerhouse on the Muscle Shoals music scene, has died at age 85, reports say.

According to a story in the TimesDaily in Florence, Hall died this morning at his home. Judy Hood, a board member of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and the wife of bassist David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (aka "the Swampers"), confirmed Hall's death.


A complicated fellow to be sure but one who made a huge impact in Muscle Shoals and the history of modern music. RIP, you did well sir.
