I don’t know much about this band. I just found out through a friend (shout out to Deb in New Orleans) about Alabama Shakes. This band, featuring the vocals of Brittany Howard, does the music that I love. It hits me in the heart, soul, and gut. This is where music belongs and I love that it breaks your heart open and lets it bleed a little. Road trip through the south needed very soon.

Alabama Shakes:

Thanks for the inspiration. Man, I love this down-home, American-born-and-bred blues-rock. Nothin’ like it.
