Image 1 of 1: The studio, which first opened in 1971, is the third studio of songwriter and producer Jack Clement (1931-2013). After the 1975 failure of one of Clement's other studios named JMI Records, Jack’s Tracks Recording Studio was sold to songwriter and publisher Allen Reynolds (1938-) for $65,000. Reynolds produced many albums in the studio including records by Don Williams (1939-2017) and George Hamilton (1937-2014) as well as all but one of Garth Brooks’ albums. Reynolds operated the studio from 1975 until 2010 when he sold it to Brooks. Two years later, Brooks renamed the studio to Allentown Studio in honor of Reynolds. As of 2019, the studio served as Garth Brooks’ recording studio.
