The Hall of Fame is here for a reason, baby!!1

There are several good studios here, but people tend to use SUMA, about 40 miles east of Cleveland. It's an old mansion that some chemist built in the 1920s. Grand Funk did Closer To Home there, and the gold record still hangs in the lobby. The rooms were turned into isolation rooms and the sound in there is great. The James Gang recorded there, and the black Keys. A lot of local acts that were right on that fringe of being big nationally used them too. The original engineer, Ken Hamann, has passed away but his son Paul had brought the place into the digital age and they are always booked.

Here's a link to a story about the place. Mainly for the pictures.
