DeWolff Bring Their Electrifying Rock ‘n’ Roll Soul
On Their New Studio Album ‘Muscle Shoals’
The free-wheelin’ rock ‘n’ soul trio DeWolff have announced their new studio album ‘Muscle Shoals’, which was recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama. The album will be released on 6 December via Mascot Records.
Nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River, just south of Nashville and east of Memphis sits the town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. In the 1960s, with the help of two recording studios, FAME and the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Muscle Shoals became home to the Soul of America.
FAME Studios saw the birth of Aretha Franklin as the Queen of Soul when she sat at the piano and laid down, “I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)”; There was also Arthur Conley, Wilson Picket, and Etta James. A little more than two miles up the road is Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, which saw Cher, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan all come through the doors and all the way up to The Black Keys when they recorded the Grammy-winning, ‘Brothers,’ there in 2010.
In May 2024, DeWolff travelled to Muscle Shoals to record their 10th studio album between the two studios with Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes).
“You can really feel some kind of rock ’n roll magic in the air there,” Pablo adds. “Right when we played our first notes there, I got goosebumps. This definitely was one of the best recording experiences we’ve ever had. Even the grand piano Leon Russell used was still there, just like the electric Wurlitzer piano that was used on “I Never Loved A Man” by Aretha Franklin!” From the very start of the recording sessions it was clear that this was a match made in heaven: our music, in these studios, with Ben’s producing and engineering skills… it was such a fun, adventurous and epic recording experience!
