Recording the Retrograde at Muscle Shoals was wild. Huge pic dump incoming: Following the footsteps of the likes of Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards, Bono, Wilson Pickett was an unbelievable experience. You could almost feel the legendary ghosts of music past haunting the amps. An unassuming building in nowheresville usa across from a cvs. Yet as soon as you step in, you are transported back to a portal into the golden age of recording.

Yeah it was surreal - I wonder who else has sat on that couch. Its such an experience to sit there and craft an entire album in a studio like that. The guys were in heaven with the top tier instruments laying around.
