Thanks to Weld for Birmingham for including my Alabama Booksmith signing in this week’s calendar of events! It’ll be the debut of “Muscle Shoals Sound Studio: How the Swampers Changed American Music,” and I’m excited for that day to finally arrive.
You can find copies of Weld, a great weekly newspaper, in 400 locations all around Birmingham. (PS Weld’s editor, Nick Patterson, recently published a book of his own. Look for “Birmingham Foot Soldiers” wherever books are sold.)
Thanks, also, to The Birmingham News’ City Scene for including my signing in last Friday’s paper. I’ll confess, seeing my name in print hasn’t gotten old, even after 10 years in this field and even after working at that very paper. The Birmingham News is published Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays and is widely distributed throughout the metro area.
Such a big fan of this subject, CJ! I watched the Muscle Shoals Sound documentary this year. Incredible. Those Swampers created one of my all-time favorite sounds. Love that you’ve written about this and can’t wait to read your work. By the way, I got BPL (Haruyo) to order this book.
Awesome! Can’t wait to have it in the collection. I’ll have to come take pictures of it on the shelves.
