You'd have a very tough time trying to find a voice more soulful than Alabama Shakes’ Britney Howard. It's just so rich and natural it blends perfectly with her band's unique brand of earthy, bluesy roots rock.
Alabama Shakes have been critically lauded for their raw, back to basics and organic sound. They've even been cited as influences by some of today's biggest stars like Drake, Beyonce and Donald Glover.
“Be Mine” from their 2012 debut Boys and Girls is some of their finest work. There's something about their effortlessly natural sound that fills your mind with images of picturesque skylines, beautiful landscapes and stunning sunsets. Be Mine is the kind of song that makes you want to get lost in the wilderness, drive down an open road or sleep under the stars. The kind of song that makes you want to sit around a slowly burning campfire, clear your mind and feel at peace.
