New Music: ALABAMA SHAKES

New Music: Alabama Shakes

by outroversion
Brittany Howard fronts what one magazine recently described as the "best guitar band to come out of the U.S in 10 years." That's their opinion and whatever but I don't really see how you can call these guys a guitar band? NME are idiots. Still that's what you get from one track listen reviews.
Thing is, this band could easily be called "The Brittany Howard Band" such is the focus that is demanded of her vocals and performance style. You've got buckets of soul on tracks like "You Ain't Alone" and passionate Jack White style ephemera on "Hold On". I use that word as it is in short supply and whether Alabama Shakes want to be seen as a backing band for a soul artist is a potent one but every track is cursed by it.
