I've only recently discovered them (today in fact!) after reading about them coming here in January.
I am into a lot of different kinds of music but it has been a long time since a band has hit me the way Alabama Shakes did after a first listen. When Brittany Howard sang the first lines of “Hold On” I was speechless; now the album is on it's 7th rotation and I am enjoying more and more with every playthrough.
For those who doubt there is any good music left in today's standards with the modern-day diatribe turned out, listen to Alabama Shakes… You will NOT be disappointed!!!
