Reviews:
"If you want to bob your head along to a jukebox sampler of glorious American songs, then MUSCLE SHOALS is the documentary for you." - 09/27/2013 New York Times


"What emerges is a vision of popular music as the product of a complex combination of landscapes and cultures; much time is devoted to the natural echo of work songs and the innate musicality of bodies of water." - 09/26/2013 A.V. Club


3 stars out of 4 -- "He exhaustively researched his film and crammed it with vivid, intimate archival footage..." RogerEbert.com
