willland Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Muscle Shoals - IMDB - A documentary that celebrates Rick Hall, the founder of FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Blown away by "Muscle Shoals". I watched the first half of it on Netflix on my PC because my SMART TV would not connect to the internet so therefore not to Netflix. The story was great and also the music. The audio was mixed perfectly for stereo and sounded great even on my PC rig. I watched the other half today on my family room rig since now my TV was connecting to the internet. The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix was of the same fantastic quality as the stereo mix and sounded absolutely wonderful through my RF-63/RC-64/RS-35 setup. If even a portion of the music out there was recorded and mixed with the quality of "Muscle Shoals", then real music just might make a comeback. Two for Muscle Shoals.

I was going to say the same thing, great story, I had no idea. Glad they finely got a little credit before the last few passed on. The DVD can be found cheap also.

mudhog Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You got to watch "Oil city confidential" I ran across it on Dish one night and had to watch it again. It's about a band called Dr. Feelgood, whom I never heard of before. The guitar guy is crazy and very entertaining. I need to look to see if its on netflix. Not a documentary but one of my favorite movies is Cadillac records, if you like the blues you need to watch this and Beonce can sing the blues it will give you goose bumps when she sings the last song. My favorite of all is. I give you a clue. "But this one goes to 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You could start and end with the Funk Brothers. I was born in '61, and grew up on Motown. These guys WERE Motown, and never got the credit in America. Growing up in the midwest, everyone wanted to be Motown. Even the dorky white boys with two left feet had dreams of throwing down a slick choreographed dance step like the slick chills in all the Motown acts.

He has sent me some awesome funk mixes. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not a documentary, but I saw an awesome movie tonight about Brian Wilson I can't reccomend highly enough. Stars Paul Dano and John Cusack who play the young and older Brian Wilson, respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccagirl83 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Does anyone have a music documentary they can recommend about a specific labels? I was recently in Half Price Books and picked up a great book on the story of Casablanca Records. I'd love to see if there is one to watch.

Netflix has one now called Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton about the Hop Hop lable Stone's Throw Records. For a great book about Elektra Records I liked Holzman's book about the lable he founded, and Wexler's book about his Atlantic Records is indispensable in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Ain't No Mouse Music is on Netflix right now and is an excellent documentary about Chris Strachwitz, the owner and founder of Arhoolie records in 1960. He started out much like Jac Holzman, recording "folk music." However, he stayed low key, and it was very interesting how he goes out and finds this music and gets it down on tape. He started recording lost blues treasures like Lightin' Hopkins and Big Mama Thorton, getting down local Tejano greats such as Flaco, Cajun, etc. He has recorded Artists who have recorded for the Arhoolie label include: Big Mama Thornton, Big Walter Horton, Dave Alexander, Nathan Beauregard, Juke Boy Bonner, Clifton Chenier, Elizabeth Cotten, Sue Draheim, Jesse Fuller, Earl Hooker, John Jackson, Mance Lipscomb,Guitar Slim, Robert Shaw, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Whistlin' Alex Moore, George 'Bongo Joe' Coleman, Charlie Musselwhite, Doctor Ross, Bukka White, Big Joe Williams, Silas Hogan, Mercy Dee Walton, Black Ace, The Campbell Brothers, BeauSoleil, Jerry Hahn, the Savoy Family Band, the Pine Leaf Boys, Los Cenzontles, The Klezmorim, Rose Maddox, and the Rebirth Brass Band. I highly recommend it if you have Netflix. Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
