Alabama Shakes debut with Boys and Girls and gosh. This
album is beautiful and one I highly recommend.
Rock n rollers no, beautiful musicians, gosh yes. Two gosh’s?
Must be good.
If you’re after some beat, track 9 Be Mine will accommodate
you. If you’re after quality, well the album oozes it.
Hold On sets the tone. Britney Howard screams her talent
right down your earhole. Listen to me you son of a bitch. Listen to me good.
If you don’t fall in love with her tone throughout Hold On
then track 5 You Ain’t Alone will do it.
This was the first Shakes song I heard. I watched them live
at T in the Park in Edinburgh and Howard stood motionless, effortless at the
mic for You Ain’t Alone. When she sung it, well it was like she grabbed my
heart, squeezed it and vacated my chest to continue.
Beautiful doesn’t do her tone justice.
This album is a chilling one but its beauty rocks you. It’s
so fucking cool I’ve ran out of superlatives.
Buy it, live it and most of all, enjoy it.
