ALABAMA SHAKES "boys and girls" cd,2012.

without a doubt this one will be in my end of year 'best of' list....sublime IMO
lots and lots of Steve Cropper,Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett sounds going on here, and none of them are forced to create the sound...its all natural, simply and purely a love and feel for the music and lyrics that few artist manage to capture completely...you can hear the pain and angst in these songs, much like Wilson and Otis in their prime, probably Amy and Adele come close with a 'feel' for the songs, but not to the extent of these guys and im pretty sure that the female vocalist with these guys must be a reincarnation of Otis Redding...awesome,awesome stuff!!!!!

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
