It's a bummer to read that the legendary Memphis recording studio Ardent seems to have gone under amidst internecine squabbling. The full story is unclear at this point, but here's a little Ardent Studios appreciation post to showcase the sound beyond Big Star...

Terribly sad news. So many great records were made at Ardent Studios but I'll always think of them as the home of Big Star.

It's sad to see Ardent shut down. Ardent was the most important and successful studio in Memphis, beginning in the late 1960s. I spent a lot of time there and have many fine memories. I loved that the studio and my hometown were a magnet for so many artists.
