Artist: Alabama

One of the best aspects of 20112s breakout hip-hop group, G-Side , is their live performance. I have been lucky enough to see them twice, once in Memphis at the Hi-Tone Café and once at Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn . While most hip-hop artists have a hype man or two to back them up on stage, G-Side generally have two supporting singers. Both times that I saw G-Side one of the back up singers, Joi Tiffany , captured my attention with her wide range and ability to take [...]

A principios de febrero estuvimos hablando por primera vez de Alabama Shakes , un grupo de Athens (Alabama) que tenía hasta la fecha un solo EP de cuatro canciones y que anunciaba su disco debut, Boys & Girls , para varios meses después. La cosa prometía y, cuando escuché el álbum, fue una de las recomendaciones semanales de Cuchara Sónica. Parece que su propuesta a caballo entre el blues, el soul y el rock clásico está funcionando muy bien en todo el mundo, pues su agenda [...]

Yesterday, Drake performed in Birmingham, AL for a sold out crowd. If you've seen any footage of Drake's shows lately, you can see that he's been working on his stage presence by bouncing around all sides of the stage. Someone needs to tell Drizzy to watch his step. The last time Drake fell on stage he ended up in a wheelchair looking like his old acting days. Check out Drake as he tries to play this one of roughly around the 1:30 mark.

Género: pop, fresh rock, folk. Balthrop, Alabama , comunidad de doce, encabezada por Kyle Fischer, con largo We Have Electricity recién salido del horno, su sonido (no podría ser de otra manera) es un despliegue de argumentos sonoros, donde tienen cabida cuerdas, coros, vientos y mareas. Pero las ventiscas y turbulencias se quedan en el inicio. En general el disco es bastante tranquilo, pero está Electricity , que lo arranca y destaca por encima de las trece que lo componen. Quizás sea por disponer de [...]

Algo especial tiene el estado de Alabama . Todos los grandes artistas que han grabado en Muscle Shoals Sound lo saben, desde Bill Haley y sus Comets hasta los Black Keys . ¿Pero qué hay detrás de la explosión de nuevos artistas provenientes del estado algodonero, como Alabama Shakes y G-Side ? Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) luciendo el tatuaje de su amado estado. En esta emisión de El Horno nos adentramos [...]

The 1980s were the MTV years; as radio once helped spread country beyond its natural habitat, so did TV channels dedicated to broadcasting country music disseminate the new crop of stars. As importantly, for the first time since Jennings and Nelson attracted the attention of rock fans, some country singers, such as Earle and Yoakam, were acknowledged by the rock press. County, or at least some strands of it, was hip again. The rock press also rediscovered legends such as George Jones and Dolly Parton. So Parton's collaboration with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt was celebrated as a music event [...]

In recent months it has become increasingly difficult to wade through the Internet without being smacked across the face with some new corner of the Web touting Alabama Shakes as the best new thing ever; give a casual ear to any part of the Athens, Alabama-birthed four-piece's full length debut Boys & Girls though, and you'll immediately understand what the fuss is all about, while instantly becoming just as obsessed over the band and their refreshingly frills-free bluesy, Southern rock-soul comfort food-widely reported as something one must peep live-as everyone else. [...]

The Alabama Shakes' amalgamation of old school rock/soul with a pinch of blues has created an album that is begging to be savored on vinyl.

Brittany Howard hat vielleicht die geilste Rock-Stimme seit Jack White und den Followill-Brüdern. Was heisst vielleicht, sie HAT die beste Rock-Stimme, die es zur Zeit da draussen gibt. Ich liebe sie, die Rock-Bands, die nach alles anderem aussehen als Rock-Bands. Die Rock-Bands, die keine Klischees bedienen, die frei sind von Trends und Hipster-Scheiss. Die Alabama Shakes sind wieder mal so eine Rock-Band. Das Quartett stammt aus Austin, TX, der heimlichen Rock-Hochburg der USA. Kennengelernt haben sie sich wie so viele Bans in der [...]

BALTHROP, ALABAMA WE HAVE ELECTRICITY OUT APRIL 10 In 2006, Alabama-born songwriter-siblings Pascal and Lauren Balthrop moved to New York City to start a band and ended up founding a town. "Balthrop, Alabama" (population 11 or so) is their bustling folk rock township. Their new album We Have Electricity is out on April 10 via their own End Up Records . [...]

At a Country Music Association awards show in the late 1970s, Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel showed up wearing a stetsons. He and the similarly behatted and long-haired Charlie Daniels and John Anderson were politely asked to remove their headgear. But as the rhinestones faded, the Stetson would become an obligatory sartorial item in the country fraternity. We might credit the mercifully brief Urban Cowboy movement — spearheaded by John Tavolta's Honky Tonk Night Fever movie — for popularising the cowboy hat, which had been sported by many people over the years but never was standard apparel in [...]

Espero que no se estén acostumbrando a ver nombres conocidos en el aviso. La experiencia nos dice que entre más se acerca la mitad del año, mejor se pone el asunto. Fort Lean Además de lo del título, hoy traemos lo nuevo de Feeder (quienes también se encargan del "clásico" de esta emisión) y Jack White , por si no lo habían escuchado por ahí. Ojo también a las propuestas de Fort Lean , Digital Leather y Cheerleader . [...]

Tweet vaso link Recorded in the coat check closet of the Mercury Lounge, this is Alabama Shakes performing "Boys & Girls," which is the title track from their upcoming album. All the buzz surrounding the band is not without merit; they've been on a hell of a press run the past few weeks, and every time I've heard them they seem to be better than the previous time. Their performance on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic was mind blowing. Boys & Girls is [...]

Last Saturday (the 4th) provided a memorable concert, even though I'll remember the day for something else. I have revolving standards when judging concerts. Sometimes when I go to concerts, I judge by the mood they put me in (e.g. Miami Horror was fun). Other times, it's just the opportunity to be there (e.g. Mumford and Sons, favorite concert of 2011), or it's by the synergy with my mood (e.g. Cass McCombs matched it), or it's the performance of my favorite song of theirs (e.g. Fleet Foxes's 'Mykonos' let me down), or it's the set closer (or end-cap [...]

Tweet Sometimes when I listen to music, I know I am getting a piece of the artist's heart right there in the song. That feeling is nearly matchless. That's how I felt when I first heard Suburban Dirts . Rockabilly rock hasn't sounded this raw yet well-delivered in a long, long time. Frontman John Wheatley sings like he grew up during the same era as our grandfathers, with a hint of our time around the edges grounding him. Alluding [...]

Si bien la ciudad de Nashville tiene a Jack White como músico de exportación por excelencia, esto puede cambiar desde el rápido ascenso del grupo Alabama Shakes , que a falta de dos meses de publicar su LP debut se presentó en el programa de Conan O'Brien . La banda tocó para los televidentes de Conan su single cabecera Hold On -que aparece tanto en su EP como en su disco debut- [...]

Alabama Shakes es un grupo estadounidense que mezcla el blues, el rock sureño y el soul. Cuando escuché su hasta ahora único EP, Hold On , me llamó la atención el sonido a vieja escuela que destilaban las canciones, aparte del talento de su cantante y de lo compacta que suena la banda en conjunto. Parece que su música está teniendo gran aceptación en Estados Unidos, donde están colgando el cartel de sold out en muchas ciudades y eso que solo tienen en su haber cuatro temas publicados. Para dar el siguiente paso que tal vez [...]

Alabama Shakes , una de las bandas que promete pegar fuerte este 2012, ya ha agendado la salida de su disco debut. Boys & Girls será editado a través de Rough Trade Records este 9 de abril. La banda, que se caracteriza por interpretaciones que fusionan diferentes estilos musicales del sur de los Estados Unidos junto con el blues, produjo su propio debut, grabado en los estudios The Bomb Shelter de Nashville . El grupo capitaneado por Brittany Howard [...]
