Just Like Ringing a Bell – A Special Boston Playlist

Wednesday, November 02, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

Over the past few years there’s been a rush of overdue attention paid to the studio musicians responsible for some of the finest music of the rock and roll era. The Swampers in Muscle Schoals.

For the past five years they’ve celebrated the legendary songwriter with a series of annual tribute shows.
