Fusion 45

Fleeing some financial problems and what he called Memphis’ lack of “civic support” for his business, Chips Moman bailed out on Memphis (and the original American Recording Studios) in 1973.

Not long after hitting Atlanta, he headed back to Tennessee  — this time Nashville — where he revived American. Because of his reputation, he immediately landed a gig producing B.J. Thomas‘ Things record (which included (Hey, Won’t You Play A) Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song).

Lucille by Kenny Rogers was recorded at American Nashville, as were Waylon and Willie’s Luckenbach, Texas and Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.
