THE STUDIO
Wishbone Studios was established in 1976 during the peak of what is today known as “Muscle Shoals Music”. Along with Fame Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Wishbone played a major part, recording hits of the era as well as establishing and publishing successful songwriters and musicians. 7-time CMA Country Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally spent his early years here, honing his craft. He also co-wrote and demoed Alabama’s “Old Flame” in the building.
Today the studio is owned by songwriter/producer Billy Lawson, who continues to produce a variety of music products, from major label recording and song demos to advertising jingles.
