Influences: Says Chris Zeigler of "The District Weekly" LET IT BLEED: THE COMPOUND A big bunch of the local releases you love probably came out of the Compound, the recording studio with a buddy’s-house vibe and matter-of-factly professional sound. Great records out now or coming soon with Compound credit include Free Moral Agents, Look Daggers, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band, Repeater, Greater California, Year Zero and even Mars Volta, with a long list more that won’t fit here. Once there was Sun sound and Muscle Shoals sound and around here there is Compound sound. The first place to go when it’s time for a real record.
