Singing River Sculpture guitarist (18 ft aluminum)

Who the figure represents depends on the source. The Associated Press reported in 2018 that it depicts a 1950s rock singer that resembles Elvis Presley, who was discovered by Florence native Sam Phillips. The Singing River Sculptures organisation's own description says the sculpture represents no particular musician.

The marker explains the series name. It retells a legend held by the Yuchi and other early inhabitants of the Tennessee River's banks, of a Spirit Woman who lived in the river and sang to them, loudly when the river was angry and softly when it was peaceful. It dedicates the work to those who made the area the "Hit Recording Capital of the World", and records that Muscle Shoals Sound Studios was established in Sheffield in 1969.

The series has grown beyond Sheffield. A bassist resembling David Hood stands outside the public library in Muscle Shoals, which Alabama Small Towns gives as 25 feet tall; Colbert County Tourism gives 18 to 20 feet for the series. In July 2024 the City of Florence dedicated a trumpet player. Alabama Small Towns suggests pairing a visit with Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, also in Sheffield.
