I recorded an album with the Swampers in 1970. They were looking for local talent, we auditioned and got signed up. I was just a kid and my ego was so swollen I had no sense of how far out of my depth I really was. I sucked. But during that time I got to rub shoulders with The Best. One of the highlights of my long happy life. BTW: These guys were as genuine and down to earth then as they appear on this video.

[@BangTaoBeach]

I have even more respect for Bob Seeger now. It's so nice that a hand shake deal stayed a deal. Respect to Bob. I love these men.

[@hollymartens8059]

I know a lady who had worked in a domestic capacity for Bob's family and she said that he is a wonderful person. Just a good man.

[@terrylunsford8742]

Gotta respect these workin' boys who had a dream and stuck with it. Ronnie VanZant loved his "swampers"! Skynyrd fans do too!

[@potwms99]

I grew up as a wannabe musician in Nashville. These guys were absolute heroes to my friends and me. Back in the early-70s, we didn't have KZbin and the Internet. We found information where we could. I wish some of my old friends who have passed could watch some of the videos. Thanks for posting these; they mean a lot to some of us old guys who are still rocking.

[@benscratchin8014]

Rock n Roll history, here before your eyes. The "Swampers" played on a lot of hit songs and, helped make a lot of musicians famous.

[@stvhop]

I feel lucky and honored to have worked with Jimmy, and David, and I’ve seen Roger play on a few occasions. Unbelievably nice and humble guys and it’s great to see them get the recognition they deserve.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

[@mmojorissen]

WOW- I always wondered about the "MUSCLE SHOALS" guys. 1st time I heard that name was in a "LYNYRD SKYNYD" tune. Years later, I heard it again and wondered, "What's up with 'Muscle Shoals??'" These guys are great!! Love hearing how they had to save nickels and dimes to buy their 1st instruments... cause that's what I had to do. Took me a year of saving money to buy my FENDER JAZZ BASS... I still have it- 1978 FENDER JAZZ BASS. It's in it's original case with original parts in a thick plastic bag. I'd modified it with EMG pick-ups in the 80s... but kept every original part. My bass hero was "JACO." Bank can take my house, car, socks, old lady... but NEVER that bass, NOR my dog!! BUT these guys jammed with BOB SEGER, PAUL SIMON, STONES, etc. I used to listen to "BOB SEGER" all the time!! SO MUCH feeling in his music... and a tremendous voice. WOW- those must have been some GREAT TIMES for these boys!! AND THEY'RE right there sitting in, thee very studio!! MAN... I wish the clock stopped back then cause it'll NEVER get better than those days!! I listened to and knew more about my parent's generation of music than they did!! I was fortunate enough to see "ELVIS" when I was 11or 12 years old- my 1st concert. He passed not too long after that. AND that was before I learned anything about music. I can still see the women jumping and screaming at the concert... and I had no idea why! It was scary!!! I knew Elvis from listening to records and seeing him occasionally, singing a song on TV... or in a movie. I'd no idea that women would FREAK OUT at a concert. ANYWAY... these "MUSCLE SHOALS" guys are totally CooL!! So many GREAT ARTISTS they worked with, great stories... and they started from scratch- give them a LOT OF CREDIT!! Another GREAT INTERVIEW by "JOE CHAMBERS!" It's gotta be kinds tough for these gentlemen to see the direction most of main stream music has gone. Producers make money regardless... but much of today's music is REALLY HARD on the ears. "Today's music ain't got the same soul... I like that old time Rock 'n' Roll." LONG LIVE "BOB SEGER!!" AND "MUSCLE SHOALS!!" Such AMAZING history!!

Thanks for sharing Joe... Joe

[@dennisapplegate7553]

Fred was right like I always say "sometimes God smiles" he surely did on you guys. The music that came out of Shoals is timeless .

[@tomcoryell]

What a down to earth bunch of guys! I could really relate to Roger’s story about not having a full drum kit and watching other kids squander the opportunity to play their new full drum kits. I knew guys that had brand new LesPauls and full stack Marshalls and they could play maybe an open C chord and maybe a G to go with it. I scrimped and saved to buy a single pickup 3/4 scale Fender like Jimmy had, only mine was a Bronco. I still have it. I couldn’t afford an amplifier so I begged and borrowed until I could.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi Tom.... great story... those were kinda hard days for those of us who loved playing but had to wait, beg and work to get what we wanted and needed but I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Thanks for watching... Joe

[@garyginther6742]

tomcoryell, (or anybody...) I didn't catch that. What kind of 3/4 scale Fender did Jimmy have? A Duo-Sonic? But you said a single pickup. So, a Musicmaster? Really?? I've heard a Duo-Sonic described as a 7/8 scale, not because the scale was any longer, but because so many big names were seen playing them. Of course I can't afford an original, but I have a lot of fun on my reissue. And I'm sure Jimmy had more than one guitar. Maybe not in the beginning, tho'.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi Gary...He had what I had... A one Pick-Up Fender Musicmaster which was a great guitar. My favorite tremolo system was the Fender Mustang. Great guitar with two P-U’s... and great Tremolo. Pull back and forth and pretty much stayed in tune. Thanks for watching.. Joe

[@jessehagen8977]

Thank you so much for this interview. These guys and their studio had such a unique and irreplaceable sound that made musicians and groups that were already of high regard sound even better, with a beautifully distinct rich quality which the likes of will never again be seen again. But that's ok because what we do have by these wonderful gentlemen and the spectacular groups that they worked and recorded with will forever be on record and tape for anybody who is interested in listening to real music that has both the right combination of sass and class. Thank God. And thank you joe.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Glenn…. I appreciate “you”supporting our videos…. You owe me nothing… best, Joe

[@EnlightenedRogue]

Once again, a grand slam interview, Joe!! Jimmy Johnson sadly died recently. The Muscle Shoals documentary that came out in 2013 detailed the chain of events that led to the Swampers striking out on their own. So many are gone now, Wexler, Hall, Aretha, Pete Carr, etc. Seger had to have been their most profitable arrangement because he sold so many LP’s over such a long period of time.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Scott... Joe

[@sirwinston2368]

Damn. I didn't know Pete Carr passed away. June 20, 2020. He played with Simon and Garfunkel at their Central Park gig back in '81. That's too bad. He was only 70 years old.

[@EnlightenedRogue]

Sir Winston I think Carr’s friendship with Duane Allman kickstarted his session career, they had met in Jacksonville. Years later, his riff on “Main Street” became legendary.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Pete was a really nice guy and talented as you know. We inducted him along with the Swampers into the MHOF in 2008. He gave me the acoustic guitar he recorded “Sailing” by Rod Stewart with at MSS studio. I tried to buy the Les Paul he used to record “Main Street” but he had already let it go years ago. Best... Joe

[@doubtingthomas1975]

What a great interview! I’m so thankful for having the opportunity to work with David, Jimmy and Roger. In 2000-2001, I recorded at MSS on the river. It was the best time of my life. Thank you Johnny Sandlin for bringing us from Georgia to Alabama. Thank you for sharing all your stories and advice along the way. 20 years just flew by! Seems like yesterday.

I didn't know as a kid in the 60s that so much of the greatest music I heard came from Muscle Shoals. When Ronnie referenced the "Swampers" in Sweet Home, I was a young teen. I later learned that Neil & Ronnie were "good" at that time - No Civil or Personal war. Ronnie had a NY Tonight's the Night t-shirt he wore on stage. My favorite Stones album was from Muscle Shoals. Sticky Fingers is, imo, their finest album ever! Joe, your interviews give me something new to learn, with every watch!! Thank you!!
