Boys & Girls [CD]

Love these guys, they are young but with hearts, and music, of some of the music legends. Lead vocals remind of a cross between Janis & Billie, hard to believe she is so young. Music is full, funky with the heart of the blues, but fresh not same ole' same ole'. Keep in my car CD player and also bring into work to share w/co-workers who also love this. A dear friend was driving back to DC after a family member illness and I gave it to them for the journey back

The song "Hold On" is my favorite but I love the whole CD. The music playing is phenomenol and the lead singer is every bit as soulful as Janis Joplin. She is great to watch as you can tell she holds nothing back. She puts her whole heart, soul and vocal range into her work. Buy the CD before Alabama Shakes becomes the super stars they are destined to be!

I bought this with another item while standing in the store because I could not find the other item. When I came back to pick them up, the other item (the one I could not find) was pulled successfully, but they did not pull this one. However, I was able to take it up to the counter, and the CSR there was able to finalize the order with this on there and got me through the process very quickly.

I have heard of how great this group was so I took a chance on getting their first album. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of musicianship and the soulful voice of the lead singer. They sound to me like an updated and more polished version of Big Brother with Janis Joplin. I'm going to look for more music from them; they live up to the hype!

As a debut album, this certainly doesn't disappoint. From start to finish, regardless of your musical tastes, you can appreciate Alabama Shakes and their daring ability to incorporate various musical styles into an album that makes you want to hear more. In two words....simply awesome!

Got this CD because of the single HOLD ON. All the other tracks were different a sound. Didn't think I would like it until I listen to it a few times. If you like bands with diverse sound and unique from track to track, check it out.

This woman has all the soul. If you look around and wonder where all the soul went, she has it. Her music speaks to every molecule of me and I lament the times in my life I've needed this band and didn't have it.

Definitely not being recognized the way all this main stream rap and pop is. Radio stations need to play a lot more of this and other upcoming artist not the same stuff. Its refreshing to hear this style come back.
