Musicians have long crossed the Alabama-Mississippi border to perform and record. Mississippians such as Albert King, Little Milton and Pops Staples recorded at studios in Muscle Shoals and Sheffield, including those owned by Mississippi natives Rick Hall and Quin Ivy. Florence native W. C. Handy encountered the blues while working in the Mississippi Delta.
