Caught the first half of it on my local PBS station last night and really, really did not want to turn it off, but I had to go to sleep with that pesky work thing and all.
Got chills on several occasions -- and I'm only halfway through.
Just awesome. Any fan of that Muscle Shoals Sound (all of you, I presume) would do well to search this one out and watch it immediately.

This looks like a must-see.

It's a must see, I'm glad I must saw it in the theater.

You know Loogs, Dump Jack and myself toured both studios and hung out with Rick Hall in his office a couple of years ago, right? Freaking transcendent experience...

Need to see this.

Rick Hall seems like a total fucking badass.

He's a FRIGHTENING individual.

He was really nice though and answered all our stupid questions even if he could not figure out why a giant, a canadian, and an asshole were interested in talking to him. Some AMAZING pictures in his office, too.

So, a giant, a Canadian, and an asshole walk into a legendary recording studio...

And to this day, probably a top five episode of Vesco Island.

If we had actually taped the conversation and used it as fodder to riff off of, it would likely be the best.

We were like giggling little girls when we got back to our hotel after the Rick Hall meeting.

And, pretty sure that we had met a mass murderer on the level of Gacy, or Charles Ng and Leonard Lake.

I've gotten to hang out with the dude 4 or 5 times now, and he is never less than BAFFLING.

They premiered this in Montgomery and I got to go see the "special screening" - really well done, and just goes to further prove that the best way to get to do cool things with your life is to have massively rich parents and/or a trust fund.

I've only seen it on DVD. Is it streaming now?
