Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, also known as The Swampers, were based in the Alabama town of Muscle Shoals. Some of their members included Jimmy Johnson (guitar), Roger Hawkins (drums), David Hood (bass), and Barry Beckett (keyboards).
Formed in 1967, the group originally worked at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. In 1969, they left Fame and started the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
Possibly the most well-known of all the 'groups' made up of session musicians, and certainly one of the most respected among musicians, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section were inducted into the Alabama Hall of Fame in 1995 for a "Lifework Award for Non-Performing Achievement."
