Mick's and Keith's participation certainly makes me want to see it.
John Lennon said, "We were trying to get that bass sound Arthur Alexander was getting in Muscle Shoals, we love his records." The Beatles tried to record in America, but because of taxes or something never did, and I think Muscle Shoals was a hope of theirs.

Through the years I have discussed recording at Muscle Shoals with Aretha Franklin, Joe South, Keith Richards and Ronnie Van Zant (for whom Jimmy Johnson was a personal hero). Darghis at the NY Times is generally a fine critic. The director, Camalier, I'm not so sure about, and I haven't yet seen the film so I will reserve my thoughts on what he did with it.
Regarding Skynyrd, whom the Stones admired even though many here do not, they were in their teens when they recorded there, and RVZ had hoped at that time when they were virtually starving that they would record there again. By the time Skynyrd had become known and successful they were hardly people who would have had anything to do with the "Klan." Like many other talented bands they grew up on the road and their youthful views changed. They were more terrified about going to that faraway place, England, for the first time than they ever were about "black people." Ronnie Van Zant was never a racist. A few weeks before his death in far-ranging conversations, we talked a lot about the people he'd met along the way and his musical heroes, many of whom were black. Too bad he didn't live or he would have straightened Mr. Camalier out rather quickly before that documentary got made.
I remember taking Ronnie to Tower Records in LA and I said to him, "Take what you want." He was quite proud about not taking advantage of this. We spent an hour at Tower and the one record he clutched to his heart was a Son House compilation.
