Watch Steven Tyler and Nuno Bettencourt playing The Rolling Stones

In April of this year, Steven Tyler interrupted his solo tour to visit the Florence Alabama Music Enterprises (FAME) Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and record a compilation titled Muscle Shoals … Small Town, Big Sound.

The album will be released on September 28 and will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the studio and the legacy of co-founder Rick Hall, who passed away in January. Hall’s son, Rodney, was responsible for producing and curating the album featuring Jamey Johnson, Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton, Lee Ann Womack, Brent Smith (Shinedown), and others.

To present a sample of the collaborative album, the version of “Brown Sugar” of the Rolling Stones that Steven Tyler sang alongside Nuno Bettencourt was released. The track was originally recorded by the British at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in late 1969 for the album Sticky Fingers (1971).

Party of money raised by selling Muscle Shoals … Small Town, Big Sound will be donated to the Grammy Foundation and other foundations that support the preservation of Muscle Shoals’ musical culture.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
