I absolutely love Alabama Shakes and wish they were still together, but I get it. I played this album over and over after my grandma passed, and it certainly helped me get through it. Her voice just makes me feel inspired to be a good person and do good in this world full of hate. Thanks for getting me through it all. 6 yrs ago today.
For me, it's a warm cabin in the snowy woods with a nice crackling fire, a good bottle of wine, and some one-on-one time the universe will never forget! But that's just me.
What a ridiculous statement. Every generation has said this. I remember my parents saying it about the Beatles. You don't listen to a wide enough variety of music. There is always amazing music being made in every genre. That said, Alabama Shakes is a great band.
omg this is INSANE!! i was in my car freaking out from fear and depression/suicidal thoughts from everything that was going on when i was trying to get a job a few months ago....i turned on the radio, and this song was on. i had never heard it before, but it has mysteriously been on the radio several times since then when i really needed to hear it. i just looked up the lyrics for the first time, and it even spells my name~brittany~correctly!! i swear im not making this up to be the top comment
Cracks me up when people say a band is "old school". Old School requires talent and dedication. We now have a bunch of performers who cannot sing or play an instrument to save their lives! . She is a cross between Odetta and Tina Turner. Great Stuff!
This is a sublime piece of music. That is a gorgeous riff and you cannot but be seduced by Brittney Howard's rich, dark vocals. These guys bring something fresh to a fabulous musical genre. Thumbs up, man.
Just heard them for the 1st time...tonight on SNL. Her voice reminded me of someone, but it wasn't until their 2nd song, that I closed my eyes & tried to remember.......and Tina Turner came into my head. An energy & 'vibe' like 'You Better Be Good To Me'? Gotta' track down that 2nd song....& listen to her & Tina back to back. GOOD STUFF!
I've had the album this song is on for a few weeks now and have been hooked on "Hold On"...totally thought the lead singer was a guy from the track. I was absolutely blown away when I watched this video and realized it's a chick. Much Respect to the Alabama Shakes, I love the CCR feel to it and very soulful vocals!
Very seldom does a band come along that floors me, Alabama Shakes has done this. Their t music is so refreshing, all that other stuff you hear all sounds the same is so distinct and Brittany has the soul of Joplin,Big Momma Thornton,Mavis Staples,so glad to hear their music
This song, well all of their songs(and Brittney) actually give me a sense of pride, because i've been through a lot of shit lately and then I feel broken... crank this up & they fix my problems! Wish they had more albums though, but oh Lord- they will!!
every week, that much more of an audience...loving the way rock is going these days, its like a send back to the roots of blues and semi early rock, but with a new feel to it! Keep shakin
I just love how the tone of the instruments is so (for lack of better terms) honest and real...it's like I'm in the studio with you. And such beautiful use of timing and dynamics! Excellent!!!
Got this song free on amazon. I was surprised that such a good song was free. I love her voice. It's so soulful and unique. I am a definitely a fan of the Alabama Shakes . =)
Awesome, groovy and fantastic peice of music! Great band! This song needs to be twice as long! So I'm forced to listen to it twice in a row...always hehe.
Just brilliant all of you and tight well done nice. Love the drum groove and just as I find a great band only to find they are not together any more what a shame loved it.
Amazing. I really really feel this. Brittany is the meaning of "Soul." I just bought the Boys and Girls CD and I can't get enough of it. Brittany has the gift.
Talk about soul.... I hadn't seen anyone in the group until today and was drawn to the feelings that came through in it... Such a powerful song.... I really appreciate music like this!! Thanks so much for making it and sharing it with us!!
Love Love Love This Song! When I Heard It On The Radio I Knew It Was A Woman...I Thought It Was Janis Joplin. This Lady Has An Amazing Voice...This Band Is Going Somewhere.
that smile at :30 would melt glaciers...her voice slays and her words slaghter. A voice that you can chil to, that will motivae you and that speaks for you... legend.
I cannot describe your sound, but I'm picking up your album as soon as stores open up tomorrow morning. Thank you for helping to bring integrity back to music. Your voice is nostalgic for some reason. I like it.
This is one of those songs where you think that they wrote them only and exclusively for you. I like how I feel when listening to it, I feel sad but good sad.
Es un gran grupo, rock en esencia, lo mejor de lo mejor de los últimos tiempos, sencillo, elegante, rock sureño con gente joven que hace música de verdad
LOVE, LOVE , LOVE HER BEAUTIFUL VOCALS!!! SO POWERFUL, AND IN PERSON, WHAT A SUPER FRIENDLY WONDERFUL BAND!!! PLEASE COME BACK TO VANCOUVER SOON BRITT!!!!
Brittany possesses a natural cool-ness that other artists today don't have.. she's cool without even trying
The person singing is Brittany?
@@joeylynn7858yes! Her name is Brittany Howard and has her own songs separate from this band, Alabama Shakes
If that makes you feel better.
Because she's not fake.
You thé best
whoever it was up there that told her "come on baby girl you got to get back up" is my hero.
This song reminds me of my best friend who was killed in a car accident in March. Miss you every second Cherie. Livin every second for you girl.
this song deserves a grammy.
Definitely!!!!
Sorry not woke enough
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back: MUSIC!!!

Good Lord!! This is what music is supposed to sound like.
This song is like warm caramel on my soul, candied for the bright parts.
For me, it's a warm cabin in the snowy woods with a nice crackling fire, a good bottle of wine, and some one-on-one time the universe will never forget!
But that's just me.
Finally, some contemporary music that is not absolute shite. These guys are the real deal

@@mongo88now88 I swear most these comments are bots cause you see all the same generic shit commented.
Easily the best recording ( either studio or live ) of this tune. The sound man deserves an A++ for this one!
Take a look at this Idol singers. THIS is what you call singing and music.
great band, great song, great singer, excellent drummer
omg this is INSANE!! i was in my car freaking out from fear and depression/suicidal thoughts from everything that was going on when i was trying to get a job a few months ago....i turned on the radio, and this song was on. i had never heard it before, but it has mysteriously been on the radio several times since then when i really needed to hear it. i just looked up the lyrics for the first time, and it even spells my name~brittany~correctly!! i swear im not making this up to be the top comment
Very powerful voice. One amazing singer.
It's pretty cool that nowdays we still have this kind of bands.
Cracks me up when people say a band is "old school". Old School requires talent and dedication. We now have a bunch of performers who cannot sing or play an instrument to save their lives! . She is a cross between Odetta and Tina Turner. Great Stuff!
Wow young people playing excellent music LIVE without autotune or click tracks. Bless you Alabama Shakes.
Nominated for a grammy today,my cousin is the drummer!
This is a sublime piece of music. That is a gorgeous riff and you cannot but be seduced by Brittney Howard's rich, dark vocals. These guys bring something fresh to a fabulous musical genre. Thumbs up, man.
I keep coming back to this song
Lost my mom and grandmother but find them in this song. Alabama born and raised. This is a special song to alot of people like me.❤❤
I need this on my radio, daily!
If you haven't heard the other album Sound & Color I envy you!!
Every song is amazing.
i haven't been effected like this by a band (mainly the pure, raw soul of this lady) in an extremely long time......love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He He...Oh...praise the Lord on that voice...love the song. Bought the album without even having to listen to it!
It's been 8 years..... i feel so old. I miss this band but Brittany is going strong!
Very few songs I love the first time I hear them. This is one of them.
Just heard them for the 1st time...tonight on SNL. Her voice reminded me of someone, but it wasn't until their 2nd song, that I closed my eyes & tried to remember.......and Tina Turner came into my head. An energy & 'vibe' like 'You Better Be Good To Me'? Gotta' track down that 2nd song....& listen to her & Tina back to back. GOOD STUFF!
Exactly!! Still listening in 2021!
Brittany can take me from 0-100 in thirty seconds. Girllll 💪🏼🤛🏼🙌🏼 thank you 🧡
I never get tired of this song or this video.
After just the first few seconds with the pa-da-bum, pa-da-bum, pa-da-bum you know you're in for a good one.
Heard these guys on SNL. All I have to say is this: absolutely fantastic.
We need more bands like this one.
My favorite version of this song.
I've had the album this song is on for a few weeks now and have been hooked on "Hold On"...totally thought the lead singer was a guy from the track. I was absolutely blown away when I watched this video and realized it's a chick. Much Respect to the Alabama Shakes, I love the CCR feel to it and very soulful vocals!
I love this band since I was in my mid 20s and I’m 37. Such a badass lead singer and guitarist love u B ❤❤
so proud of my southern roots right now!!! Gotta love the soul of Alabama Shakes!!!
I'm ashamed that I'm just now listening to this.
This girl is the coolest!
You weren't doing too bad I've only just discovered it 12 years later 😅
you my dear have no soul. Soul is what makes Brittney belt this harmony out.
Bless your heart and your mind!
Very seldom does a band come along that floors me, Alabama Shakes has done this. Their t music is so refreshing, all that other stuff you hear all sounds the same is so distinct and Brittany has the soul of Joplin,Big Momma Thornton,Mavis Staples,so glad to hear their music
Indeed! The South is the best, I'd move there tomorrow if I could - more love from the UK!
damn...she just set fire to the mic! what a great song.
I absolutely love this song. It will help you release some stress. Thank you❤
This song, well all of their songs(and Brittney) actually give me a sense of pride, because i've been through a lot of shit lately and then I feel broken... crank this up & they fix my problems! Wish they had more albums though, but oh Lord- they will!!
i'm so glad they're nominated for a grammy. they deserve it so much :)
every week, that much more of an audience...loving the way rock is going these days, its like a send back to the roots of blues and semi early rock, but with a new feel to it! Keep shakin

So much soul, I haven't felt tingles like that in years - big love, hold on brothers and sisters all over the globe - we are one -
Exactly what brought me here!! Bands awesome...especially the singer!! Wow!
it's awesome to hear the drummer contributing so much to the overall feel and 'melody' of the track. but love what everyone else is doing 2.
THIS IS GOING TO BE # 1 ON ITUNES... I SWEAR
Utterly wonderful. She's got soul.
You have a beautiful voice and you don't hear that anymore. Keep up the great work... God bless you all
