Music in Alabama
If you are travelling to Alabama for its home-grown music there are venues across the state playing jazz, blues and country – whether it’s in a packed juke joint or a sophisticated city bar. You can even try a spirit-filled Sunday morning church service at the Sixteen Street Baptist Church in Birmingham to experience a gospel choir where everyone gets out of their seats! Music lovers should also head north to Muscle Shoals and Fame Recording Studio, a name you may have heard mentioned in Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and featured in the Muscle Shoals Music Documentary, available on DVD now.
