The Revivalists - Made In Muscle Shoals EP (2020) [Hi-Res]

The Revivalists surprised listeners Thursday morning with the release of a new EP and corresponding mini-documentary Made In Muscle Shoals. The two projects find the rising alt-jam ensemble recording at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL.

The seven-song EP features five reworked versions of previous hits, including “Wish I Knew You” and “All My Friends”, a cover of the Bee Gees‘ “To Love Somebody”, and a new original song, “Bitter End”. The trademark soul sound of Fame Studios and the city of Muscle Shoals sink deep into the reworked versions of The Revivalists’ own upbeat brand of roots rock. The other previously-released reworked tracks include “Oh No”, “You And I”, and “Change”.

“We went to Muscle Shoals to capture that special kind of real and raw that only a place like that can provide,” singer David Shaw said. “Every bit of everything we did there felt like it held a little more weight than things we’ve done in the past.”
