alabama music hall of fame

I've seen a lot of musical history in the South. This is one of my favorite places to visit. There is a lot of things to say about AMHofF. But, the words cannot describe it in this short review. You have to see ot for yourself. Just incredible.

Many items of fame such as the group Alabama's tour bus, Percy Sledge, native of Colbert County, display and much much more.

We're from Alabama, but never visited this place. It was interesting to see artists in the Museum that we never knew had any connections to the State. The usual ones are honored, but we really enjoyed reading about the little known ones. It does appear that the place is suffering from lack of funding, and I hope it can survive.

This attraction obviously struggles with funding. The artifacts are rather dull and not displayed in a professional manner. I would not advise going out of your way to visit but the entrance fee is relatively inexpensive so check it out if in the area and have nothing else planned.

If you are a music lover, no matter what type of music you like, you simply must see the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. I live in Nashville and am a huge fan of The Country Music Hall of Fame on 16th Ave. in Nashville. However, our recent visit to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame just blew me away. Each museum tells a different story, and these two stories are vitally connected. Nashville focuses largely on country music only; the Alabama Music Hall of Fame is much broader and includes many types and styles of music. While I knew most Southern music was connected to the 'Bible Belt' of the south, it was here that I came to understand that so many more music styles had evolved here. The list of music artists, musicians, song writers, publishers, the whole of American music itself can be found at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame because so many musicians recorded in the Muscle Shoals area of Northern Alabama. From rock,county, gospel, big band,the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the list is endless at the Alabama Hall of Fame. You learn that Nashville is only one piece of the picture. Come here to see the rest of the story. We took about 3 hours to see it and our heads were spinning with facts and connections. It is such a fun place for people who love popular music.. Come see what's here. It is not to be missed.

Enjoyed seeing and learning about the history of Alabama. Don't miss this attraction if you are in the area. They have an outdoor venue for music in the summer time.

If you're a music fan or are visiting the Shoals area then stopping by here is an absolute must. The amount of stuff they have packed into the building is incredible. Its definitely affordable admission wise and the gift shop was very reasonably priced for this kind of attraction.My one negative comment would be the broken fountain outside but it was explained to me that there was no room in their budget to get it fixed at this time.

my mom wanted to visit this ,it was pretty nice, but she was a little disappointed about them only having music shows on certain dates, the gift shop is way over priced also, but overall it was nice

Went for work but must say, this place is awesome. Kind of sad it does not get more attention. Who knew there is so much music history made in Alabama. This should be a destination for all music fans. Ask the staff questions, they know everything about music in the area and you never know who you might run into.

For anyone who loves music -- all kinds of music -- you mustn't miss this. It covers Alabama and Alabama-related musicians who've made their mark in American music -- from classical to country, jazz and rock and roll.

I liked that there is such a thing as a music hall of fame for Alabama. It is amazing how much music has come from Alabama! It is important to support the fact there is a music hall of fame by going there. Without patrons all the wonderful displays would be for naught. I don't think you will be disappointed. Rather I think you will surprised and impressed!

Overall, it was a good experience. Some of the exhibits are a bit dated, but we both enjoyed it quite a bit. You can go through it pretty quickly.

Reopened music hall of fame. Improved since last time I was there. Every year have a lot of local bands on the outside stands. Great family entertainment

We stopped here on a whim after visiting Fame studios, and were greeted with incredibly friendly faces! We settled down to watch the Muscle Shoals documentary, which is also well worth a watch. It was interesting and the exhibits were of a high standard. Definitely go just to watch the documentary if nothing else.

Really glad that I stopped here. It don't look like much from the outside but the inside is packed with lots of interesting information, pictures and items from different musicians from all around Alabama. Even has a tour bus from the group Alabama inside the museum. Almost like a mini Country Music Hall of Fame. If you love music you need to stop. Not all that expensive. Well worth the stop!
