Certainly has its' place in record history, and once you visit The Leaning Tower Of Capitol, there's not a lot of West Coast cultural meccas known for their iconic stature rather than having an unfocused parade of various hitmakers (and Wrecking Crew players) booking hours and clocking-in.

You stand on that certain spot in Sun Studios, you're transported to a specific time and place. The Motown House still conjures up The Funk Brothers, and that unique solution to making reverb is part of our boomer heritage. Booker T & the M.G's inhabited the grooves and hallways at Stax/Volt.

The Record Plant stretches so many miniature "eras" and genres of California music history, it is harder to tell that story. Perhaps centering on the process instead of the heritage makes sense here, but hell - that's a recording academy, not a museum.

So I wish Caillat luck, and sure hope this turns into something that helps the public resonate with their musical memory...not just a place for a band to learn how to tell their producers to, "make it louder".
