“Malaco Records – America’s longest running independent label – has teamed with six-time GRAMMY-nominated music scholar Rob Bowman (Soulsville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records) to capture one of the most beloved and unlikely stories in modern music history – as it has never been told before, and as it can never be told again. Land of a Thousand Sessions: The Complete Muscle Shoals Story 1951-1985, published in November, 2025, offers over 750 pages of insights across 30 chapters – and the definitive history of how this tiny northwest Alabama hamlet became ‘The Hit Recording Capital Of The World.'” (Shore Fire Media)
