I heard a lot about 'Alabama Shakes' before I actually heard them... and did they live up to the critical acclaim I was bombarded with? You better believe it! "Hold On" is nothing short of sensational. The singer/guitarist Brittany Howard sounds a bit like The Kings of Leon, with a bit of Jack White... but otherwise she could be leading a 60's psychedelic/soul band. The pace may be reasonably slow but the raunchiness is powerful.
