In a year where the pro audio industry went big time on film (ie: Dave Grohl's HBO-based Sonic Highways), music documentaries pushed beyond the base level of a sob-story biopic. The filmmakers behind incredible documentaries like 20 Feet From Stardom, Muscle Shoals and more, have artfully illustrated the ways that recording studios have impacted the music industry.
Seeing as though the holidays are often a time when life slows down and we can actually enjoy a movie or two, the final week of 2014 is the perfect for catching up on some much-required watching. Check out our list of studio and music documentaries below and learn how some influential makers and gear have changed the world.
Muscle Shoals While Muscle Shoals became famous for the work of Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, FAME Studios founder Rick Hall was the man who set a movement in motion. The studio owner brought together the best black and white musicians in Alabama, dubbed "The Swampers," and created a sound that would be mimicked for generations to come.
