The Sweet Magnets
Description: What might be the most famous roots rock song of all time is certainly a love song to Alabama, but music lovers will want to focus on this lyric: "Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers, and they've been known to pick a song or two." Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in northwestern Alabama was home base for the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, also known as the Swampers. Throughout the ‘70s, they were featured on more than 200 albums and collaborated with the likes of Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and of course, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Today, the studio is open for tours every day except Sunday.
Description: Jack Kerouac quote: The one thing that we yearn for in our living days, that makes us sigh and groan and undergo sweet nauseas of all kinds, is the remembrance of some lost bliss that was probably experienced in the womb and can only be reproduced (though we hate to admit it) in death.
