Young and old fans of “American Idol” runner-up Bo Bice and his music would do well to catch “American Revolutions: Southern Rock” (7 p.m., Saturday, CMT). “Revolutions” begins in the mid- and late 1960s with a look at the Muscle Shoals, Ala., recording studio where black pop and soul artists cut records with white session musicians.
