Dude I’m so salty they pretty much broke up. They were my absolute favorite band and I never got to see them live :/ and although I love her new songs as a solo artist they just don’t feel the same as this band..
@Mr C - I've stated similar myself - if Janis is reincarnated, she either in Brittany or Beth Hart... either way powerhouses, love em all - healing chills!
Alabama Shakes BRINGS IT: Shades of LINDA JONES, OTIS REDDING TINA TURNER, BOBBY WOMACK, they are in the lineup with the greatest exponents of soul artistry of the past 60 years. YES! & Bravo!!!
From Portugal: I can not believe I have only discovered Alabama Shakes today. Two albums and they re legends. Don t mean to compare but hearing the 1st sounds of this music reminded me of the Rolling Stones on Exile on main street.
Edmilson Santana (Dinho) verda, ultimamente só temos cantoras péssimas, com letras péssimas e vozes horríveis, quanto a brittany howard nada a dizer, só que vozerão. Me lembra um pouco a Janis Joplin (deusa, diva, rainha do rock e do blues).
loving this band and all I have discovered by them so far - and as for this voice...stupendous, wonderful, such depth of feeling, amazing range and - above all - authenticity...musicianship from the heart...love it....
Just when I think American music is over and done with, these folks come along and completely blow everybody's collective mind. Holy Jeez Muther, these guys are flippin' FANTASTIC! Food for a starving world--and a delicious meal at that!
Brittany sings, "I took a shine to you." No Brittany and the Alabama Shakes, I took a shine to y'all. Music is alive in my soul again. Thank you, I always have loved music, but you have lit that love for heart and soul in real honest music once more. Guitars, keyboard and drums and heart, keep it just that way. Clean, pure real music. Again, WOW!
Must be so much fun to be in this band. Just look at the soulful immersion on their faces - happy to be subjects of their Queen B. Love you, Ms Howard.
That's the magic of this band,they contain themselves while the music flows through their fingers These are southern men who aren't all mouth just some funky soul and I personally love them.
here we have. lots of folks comparing Britney to others. no comparison. she is Britney Howard and she is her own. and I will hold her dear in my heart as an original. she is true, she is real. and a testament to that is her being part of a band. not a person to have starlight in her eyes and it being about her. I love you Britney and I love the band
Incredible Sound and Voice! Time travel back to the 60's and 70's. I discovered this sensational Alabama Shakes from their fantastic "Always Alright" in the movie "Silver Linings Playbook". Just couldn't believe how good they are. Hope they can come to Portugal, one of this days.
Mumford and sons are for sure great. This Ladies vocal prowess is going to carry her straight to the top. Mark these words in your memory banks, She kicks ass!
I love this song. Lyrics next: All the world can't hold a candle to you 'Cause all the world is in the dark Well I'll tell you why I'm so sure I took a shine to you, oh yeah And all them ladies can't change your mind And all them girls won't turn your head And all them lions in the jungle at night I don't worry about my baby, don't worry about you baby 'Cause I know why I don't worry I sing me no sad songs Happy, never sad for long Don't you call me anything doll, but your baby I know All them girls might wanna rip us apart If they wanna fight, they done starting f***ing with the wrong heart They got another thing coming Or I'll be a dead woman Oh, and I would do all that for you I'd do it for you 'Cause all of them girls don't know you like I do All them girls don't know you like I do All them ladies don't know you like I do That's why I call you my baby Oh yeah So be my So be my... So be my baby, Be my baby... (bis) Just say al right....... Forever and alright
I love this group...she is so passionate. I check their page and they are touring all over except here in San Diego...right now. You bet I will be on the floor for that show, however.
I never heard of Alabama Shakes until I went to Europe and bought a copy of MOJO (The Best Music Magazine in the World). I actually thought they were an English band with their diverse make up and I could not have been more prouder to find that they are American and from the South being praised in the UK. This is what music is all about. Many people do not know that Neil Young played in a band with Rick James. It is all about playing good music and having a good time!
This band ROCKS!!! I've never heard of them until I accidentally came across them on Roku music categories after listening to Adele. The lead singer reminds me of across between Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, and Adele among Carly Simon.
What did you expect? This is a radio station small studio. Most people were listening not looking at them. The song came out so good live that it was decided to upload the video. Also, she is the heart of the band, having say that: Check many other bands were the musicians are very calm. It is ALL about the music.
I have a long ride home from work (80 miles), but when I put their CD on in the car, it takes me on an emotional roller coaster ride that makes my long ride home much shorter!
Darlene Dos Santos Souza O que me deixa feliz é, ver bandas excelentes conseguindo fazer sucesso hoje em dia, pois eu já estava bem desacreditado na musica. Mas Alabama Shakes é vida!
she has more talent and soul in her pinky finger than most of the artist that are out there
You're absolutely correct about that!
Fark yeah
Don’t compare her.
Whole fact, real AF!
I felt something deep in my soul the first time I heard this song.
Brittany is definitely a soul singer. She is very powerful indeed. My favorite song is "Hold On" from The Alalbama Shakes.
I absolutely LOVE the WHOLE BAND. They are like a needle in a haystack, meant to be together. Freaky good!! I pray they never break up!!
Totally Agree no weakness in the band and they gel so well together. But boy that girl can sing!
Dude I’m so salty they pretty much broke up. They were my absolute favorite band and I never got to see them live :/ and although I love her new songs as a solo artist they just don’t feel the same as this band..
Keys, Bass, Guitar. . . just perfection! The kind of syncopation and sound that made my heart beat faster.
WHEN YOU PUT'N THE BAND BACK TOGETHER? It's a Mission from God!!
And…. They broke up
Bloody hell, it's nearly Aretha and Janis in one!
with some Prince and Zeppelin too!!!
Mr C some Aretha Franklin , Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Chuck Berry & Allman Brothers!
Its hers..
Yup! It's also a little Al Green. Mussel Shoals swampers. TIGHT!
@Mr C - I've stated similar myself - if Janis is reincarnated, she either in Brittany or Beth Hart... either way powerhouses, love em all - healing chills!
Brittanys' voice is magical, the whole band is amazing... I'm enjoying the ride ;)
ROCK ON!
This band is special, catch this new wave blues.
Such a powerful singer. Great band.
she throws down! damn that voice is powerful and soulful and sunshine on a cloudy day. playing repeat on this one.
Listening to this on quarentine mornings is awesome. Best contemporary band ever
God i love this song too much, i don't think people realize how good this song is;
which makes it even greater
Alabama Shakes BRINGS IT: Shades of LINDA JONES, OTIS REDDING TINA TURNER, BOBBY WOMACK, they are in the lineup with the greatest exponents of soul artistry of the past 60 years. YES! & Bravo!!!
Essa banda é de arrepiar a nuca e encher os olhos de lágrimas.
OUTSTANDING!!!! I saw them performing on Austin City Limits and could not get her voice out of my head. I love it!
I just love how she feels the music through her whole body while she sings.
Pure raw, exceptional talent. Remember hearing them for the first time: I knew it was really really special.
This is my favorite of theirs. So explosive.
I really hope this type of music does have a comeback in the pop charts. I'd actually be willing to listen to the radio if that ever happened.
This is as real as it gets. Why isn't more music like this? Pure expression of the soul
They take me to emotional places that I have been to in my life and make me feel them all over again!
From Portugal: I can not believe I have only discovered Alabama Shakes today. Two albums and they re legends. Don t mean to compare but hearing the 1st sounds of this music reminded me of the Rolling Stones on Exile on main street.
They all seem so relaxed and "down to earth". Absolutely love all of the band, none seem intimidating. Can't wait to see them live!!
This band as a whole is phenomenal and she is beyond talented a artist like this only comes through once in a blue moon. She's in her own league.
Fazia tempo que eu não via surgir uma cantora tão fodástica como ela!
Edmilson Santana (Dinho) verda, ultimamente só temos cantoras péssimas, com letras péssimas e vozes horríveis, quanto a brittany howard nada a dizer, só que vozerão. Me lembra um pouco a Janis Joplin (deusa, diva, rainha do rock e do blues).
Man , can listen to this always !!
hell yeah!
loving this band and all I have discovered by them so far - and as for this voice...stupendous, wonderful, such depth of feeling, amazing range and - above all - authenticity...musicianship from the heart...love it....

excelente grupo, estilo fresco, una voz maravillosa y una interpretación magnifica.
Such a cool tune...and oh my gravy, that voice....like butter, so much soul.
I don't want to ever dare to compare talent. But, I CAN listen to this sound until the bulbs burn out. I;m again in love with a song and a sound.
This is old school soul making a comeback. Where you been, baby? I missed you!
I am SO happy that I was introduced to Alabama Shakes! It's about time for some good music! Hell yeah
Cara, que maravilha essa banda. Estão resgatando o velho e bom rock roll. Espero vê-los logo no Brasil. Viva o ROCK
Brittany sings, "I took a shine to you."
No Brittany and the Alabama Shakes, I took a shine to y'all. Music is alive in my soul again. Thank you, I always have loved music, but you have lit that love for heart and soul in real honest music once more. Guitars, keyboard and drums and heart, keep it just that way. Clean, pure real music.
Again, WOW!
Must be so much fun to be in this band. Just look at the soulful immersion on their faces - happy to be subjects of their Queen B. Love you, Ms Howard.
I dint understand how the crowd can be so lifeless with so much energy in stage. I would be able to stay in my seat.
They are actors who are supposed to be watching
Such an awesome voice girl!! More power to your group!! I hope to hear more of your songs in the future!!
amazing singer and band !
That's the magic of this band,they contain themselves while the music flows through their fingers These are southern men who aren't all mouth just some funky soul and I personally love them.

The influences I hear on their first release (Boys & Girls) are, Janus Joplin, Otis Redding, The Staple singers and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

AAWWWW hell! watch how Britt holds the mic AND the cord. THE BELTER, the spring in her step, it's all about tha blues. blessings, fooms.
I love this song. Lyrics next:
All the world can't hold a candle to you
'Cause all the world is in the dark
Well I'll tell you why I'm so sure
I took a shine to you, oh yeah
And all them ladies can't change your mind
And all them girls won't turn your head
And all them lions in the jungle at night
I don't worry about my baby, don't worry about you baby
'Cause I know why I don't worry
I sing me no sad songs
Happy, never sad for long
Don't you call me anything doll, but your baby
I know
All them girls might wanna rip us apart
If they wanna fight, they done starting f***ing with the wrong heart
They got another thing coming
Or I'll be a dead woman
Oh, and I would do all that for you
I'd do it for you
'Cause all of them girls don't know you like I do
All them girls don't know you like I do
All them ladies don't know you like I do
That's why I call you my baby
Oh yeah
So be my
So be my... So be my baby,
Be my baby... (bis)
Just say al right.......
Forever and alright
So glad to see good music again. Money in hand.

wonderful musicians, and genius vocalist. This is what music is about.

can't stop listening to the album... SO DOPE!!!..
First saw them on Later with Jools Holland show and three chords in & 3 notes from Brittany was enough to know this was special. What a voice & band.❤
This is a hell of a jam!! Wow.
I have a long ride home from work (80 miles), but when I put their CD on in the car, it takes me on an emotional roller coaster ride that makes my long ride home much shorter!
A voz é uma delícia de ouvir e o som é o conjunto de suavidade!!!
Darlene Dos Santos Souza O que me deixa feliz é, ver bandas excelentes conseguindo fazer sucesso hoje em dia, pois eu já estava bem desacreditado na musica. Mas Alabama Shakes é vida!
this is good... wonderful drive voice, stunning guitar... that´s blues...
What a killer soulful voice she has! That man kicks ass she can really Shred the guitar as well
