Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers...
Our iconic recording studio opened in 1969 when studio musicians now known as The Swampers - David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Beckett and Roger Hawkins - left FAME Studio and started their own operation. Fully restored to it's 1969 look thanks to a grant from Beats Electronics, the studio is open for tours and is once again a fully functioning recording studio at night. A wide array of merchandise is also available in store and online with new designs and the classic duds worn by Mick Jagger, Bog Seger, Willie Nelson, Linda Rondstadt, Rod Stewart etc. Tour guides start in the basement where the publishing offices were, proceed to the main studio and end in the gift shop of course! There are numerous Swamper sightings! Group tour rates are available and the studio is open to requests for special events and occasions like weddings and birthday bashes. We are not your typical hands-off museum. We encourage people to play the piano where Old Time Rock and Roll was recorded!

Wonderful Tour
The tour guide was wonderful. He is a wealth of knowledge and stories. We had to wait about 40 minutes for the next tour and the guy running it was great at telling some of the stories of the place too. So it seemed like 2 tours in one! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Special place, great tour
LOVED this. We were on a road trip through Mississippi and Alabama and stopped by one morning. Small place but fascinating. The guide really knew her stuff. It felt very special and even a bit emotional to be in this room. Also got a chance to play the piano in the studio. Recommended.
