Clayton Ivey: What it's like as a Session Player at F.A.M.E & Muscle Shoals Sound Studio's.

[@tomcoryell]

I love Clayton’s enthusiasm and the fact that he has such a respect for writers.

[@newking70]

A-Team, Funk Brothers, Wrecking Crew, & the Swampers, this amount of talent will never be seen again.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching 70..... Joe

A real treasure of an interview. This is a musician's musician, not a performer. Absolutely wonderful stories from such a personable guy. Much appreciated.

Steve - SECONDED! GREAT stuff Joe, regards from England, - Gus Riley ;)

[@MickHayesMusic]

Clayton played on every cut on my latest record called MY CLAIM TO FAME. He’s a monster musician and has one of the best sense of humor of anyone I’ve ever worked with. Cant wait to see him again! Thanks for this interview, loved it.

The shout out to Jerry Wexler made my day. The man who coined the phrase 'Rhythm and Blues' and the picture with Etta James? Wow. Wexler's autobiography 'Rhythm and The Blues(2012) is a must read for popular American music history buffs...He was there for IT ALL with Atlantic Records. Dowd/Wexler/Ertegun. Ertegun's story is told in 'The Last Sultan: The Life and Times of Ahmet Ertegun' another incredible story. Tom Dowd's story is told in the movie: 'Tom Dowd and the Language of Music'. Focus, Focus, Focus. So young and intense in those days. Wonderful interview.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Spyder..... yes that documentary Tom Dowd and the Language Of Music is great.... Best, Joe

[@christophervaca7116]

[@donnieskaggs9548]

I LOVE Clayton! I was fortunate enough to get to work on a few demos with him. The first time I heard him playing a Rhodes part in the phones I quit playing haha. It was exactly what I had grown up on and, Clayton is one of the best living B3 guys on the planet!

Thanks again for watching 567..... Joe

[@MichaelPaul155]

What a great interview. I found it so interesting when Mr. Ivey said he heard two different songs he played on back to back and he played the same lick on those songs, and it made him think about how he was playing. Wow! What a great interview, Joe Chambers!

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Michael.... Best, Joe

[@allysonhanks7367]

[@rocketpost1]

Very interesting Joe. I don't think there's any interview of yours that I've disliked or turned off. They're all very entertaining with some favorites obviously. I think you're the only poster who responds to nearly every comment. Most respond to a small selection and some don't respond to any comments but it's nice to get a reply. Thanks.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

I appreciate your supporting our videos rocket.... best, Joe

[@d.townzen1337]

Listening to these old timers talk really makes music history come alive. It also makes me realize how much the world of music has really changed. Whether for the better or worse is up to personal assessment, but man they sure did live the dream back then.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts D.... Joe

[@blueticecho5690]

[@SOUL-ry2ds]

I am very fond of his work with J J Williams on Polydor “Lord have mercy on my soul” from early 70s

[@SOUL-ry2ds]

Coarranged by Terry Woodford Great muted trumpets in the start of this gem

[@rossrowley4331]

When I was buying records, I would look at the labels and search for the names of the producers and session musicians I liked. So many times, my searches led to projects coming out of the south. Namely Muscle Shoals studios such as Wishbone, Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound. It didn't matter who the artist was, it was the producers and session players I longed to hear. Clarence Carter records, Mac Davis records, Staple Singers, The Osmonds, Jerry Reed or Mac McAnnaly....it didn't matter. I wanted to hear Clayton Ivey, Travis Wammack, Barry Beckett or Bob Wray in any and all combinations.

[@kenperkins7921]

REST IN PEACE, JOE chambers, you did a great job at the musicians Hall of Fame! Rest easy Joe.

[@SOUL-ry2ds]

I also dig Ernie Shelby “bend over backwards” also on Polydor Kinda reminds me of King Floyd

[@SOUL-ry2ds]

When are you gonna do a feature on Louisville Kentucky Prince Phillip Mitchell writer extraordinaire who spent a lot of time in Muscle Shoals? He is truly unsung

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi 12345..... I will check into it. I am not aware of Phillip.... best, Joe

[@SOUL-ry2ds]

Hi Joe He is a prolific writer He wrote “Starting all over again “ a monster hit for Mel & Tim On Stax recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound studio early 70s

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Yeah... Starting All Over Again... great song and recording. Best, Joe
