"Muscle Shoals AL - Rick Barton is having the time of his life while
working at the same time. When asked his about experience this far
recording at Portside Sound Studio, Barton said, "There are many many
spine tingling moments on this record."
Portside Sound Studio is the same studio as the second incarnation of
Muscle Shoals sound studio, which operated from 1978-1990 and was
featured in the outstanding documentary about the legendary Alabama
music scene.
Barton met producer Kimi Samson while touring with Continental last
Summer and was invited to record at the room by Samson. Daniel Murner
is engineering the sessions.
One of the many perks of the studio for Barton has been being able to
work with several local musicians including guitarist Kelvin Lee Holly
(Little Richard, Gregg Allman, The Amazing Rhythm Aces).
Barton, who is under contract with Rusty Knuckles Music, has relished in
the moment. "It has been fucking mind blowing," said the original
Dropkick Murphy's guitarist."
