Shake Appeal

Apr 24, 2012, 3:38pm Plain Or Pan?

Jack White 's Blunderbuss hit the racks this week and while it's not much of a departure from the old routine, it's still a terrific bluesy, funky and at times shouty affair, with plenty o' whoopin' and a-hollerin' and those trademark scorching guitar breaks that we've come to expect. Giving him a run for his money in the retro stakes are Alabama Shakes , who, by the time you've read this are probably the number 1 selling artist in the country. Or is it still Adele? [...]

Sweet Home: A Review of Alabama Shakes, Boys and Girls

Apr 12, 2012, 9:29am Frontier Psychiatrist

Alabama Shakes, Boys and Girls In January, Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers was quoted in Rolling Stone as saying   “If [Alabama Shakes] don't fuck up and take a wrong turn, I can't imagine how good they could be.” For months, people have been waiting for the release of the debut album by this much buzzed-about band, and track after track, Alabama Shakes deliver big on Boys and Girls , due out on April 10. It’s impressive that this young band was able to live up to the hype that surrounded [...]

Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls

Apr 9, 2012, 12:49pm Direct Current

Highly touted down-and-dirty blues n' soul band Alabama Shakes turns the sweat and heat quotient up to eleven on their raucous, highly-anticipated debut album Boys and Girls (April 10, ATO) . At the ripe old age of 23, powerhouse frontwoman Brittany Howard displays remarkably gritty old soul cred as she alternately storms and caresses her way through the album's dozen roadhouse-ready tracks, from the slow grinding lead track "Hold On" to the Memphis-styled R+B of "Ain't the Same" and "I Found You." The core of the band -- Howard, guitarist Heath [...]

Introducing: Alabama Shakes

Dec 9, 2011, 3:49pm Fake Plastic Tunes

Sometimes you come across a band and take a few listens and are blown away. Well that is exactly what happened to me with Alabama Shakes . The band that was formerly known as just The Shakes are from Athens, Alabama and are now known as Alabama Shakes. Their music is a bit of a twist from what you might currently hear, offering a variety of garage, blues, rock, and a whole lotta soul. They are a somewhat fresh and undercover band but are currently drawing some high praise of the [...]

ALABAMA SHAKES (EP)

Nov 17, 2011, 5:44am Berkeley Place

Once upon a time, there was this amazing Rolling Stones soundalike band called the Deadstring Brothers.  I f*^%ing loved that band.  They've fallen off a bit, but those first singles they put out, and their first two albums, were absolute fire. Alabama Shakes remind me of them. Not only do they have a wicked cool Southern band name, but they play the blues like...Well, like nobody else I can think of.  And they've got a raw, powerful passion that recalls the greats of this genre: lead singer Brittany Howard delivers every line with [...]

[MUSIC VIDEO] Alabama Shakes - You Ain’t Alone

Nov 9, 2011, 11:11am MusicVagabond

[MUSIC VIDEO] Alabama Shakes - You Ain’t Alone Listening to Britney Howard sing is one thing watching her perform is a whole other. It will give you chills, even possibly bring you to tears. If you watch this and you feel nothing you may actually be a robot. I can’t believe I managed to miss them during CMJ and they just sold out Mercury Lounge so I’m gonna have to finagle my way in to those tickets somehow.  Listen to their full EP below and then buy it because it’s $4 and fucking amazing!

If there's a Southern Soul revival going-on then Alabama Shakes are at the heart of it. Rumor is that record labels are jockeying to sign this Athens, Alabama band. See them now before they become darlings of the mainstream and tell your pals you where there. $10. "You Ain't Alone" Directed by Joshua Shoemaker.

Alabama Shakes - Alabama Shakes EP (album streams)

Nov 4, 2011, 5:20am Totally Fuzzy

Alabama and soul music share a long and rich history, just think of the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and owner Rick Hall's legendary productions in the 60s. Connecting to that legacy of rythm and blues inspired soul music is the band Alabama Shakes, formerly called The Shakes from Athens, AL. Their first release, a self-titled EP, leaves no doubt about where they're coming from, geographically and musically, and hopefully where they're heading to. If you can appreciate Etta James, early Aretha Franklin, Ruth Brown, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, Janis Joplin and the likes - and [...]

CMJ 2011 - Big Winners

Oct 26, 2011, 8:12am Stark Online

Tristen [" Baby Drugs "]: To be honest, we thought we had a fairly good idea of what we were going to get when we went to see Tristen play twice last week. We've seen a lot of Tristen shows, but were not ready for the next level of musicianship and songwriting that Tristen and her band The Ringers brought, especially at the Flower Booking showcase Friday. With new drummer Sam Smith, and classic Ringers, Buddy and Jordan - Tristen pulled out three new songs from the follow up to Charlatans at the Garden Gate (out now [...]

Alabama Shakes - "You Ain't Alone" (Live Video)

Sep 23, 2011, 2:23am We Listen For You

We've gave them Track Of The Day and slapped our Required Listen stamp on the Alabama Shakes , but after watching their live video, this isn't a band that you should put on your radar...you need to drop everything and become a fan. I knew they we're good, but this video shows they're on the path to greatness. Brittany Howard doesn't just sing, she emotes with such passion that it's clear she's out to change lives with her music. This is just simply stunning. [...]
