Об исполнителе (группе)
Muscle Shoals-inspired, Athens, Alabama-based quartet Alabama Shakes formed in 2009 around the talents of Brittany Howard, Zac Cockrell, Steve Johnson, and Heath Fogg. Originally simply called the Shakes, the band’s not-so-subtle blend of fiery blues-rock and hard-hitting Southern soul has drawn comparisons to the Black Keys, the Drive-By Truckers, the Detroit Cobras, and even Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. The band released an eponymous debut EP in September 2011, with plans to record a full-length album later in the year. 2012's Boys & Girls was produced and mixed by the band at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville.
Об альбоме (сборнике)
Given the intensity of the buzz surrounding Alabama Shakes, it's hard to believe that 'Boys & Girls' is the group's full-length debut. But when they perform together, these players already add up to a picture of dramatic, disciplined intensity: Howard is a disarmingly subtle singer who doesn't merely belt, and the songs she sings often come and go with a jolt. All but two of the 11 songs on 'Boys & Girls' make their case inside of four minutes, making Alabama Shakes the rare blues-rock band that errs on the side of saving its breath and making big songs on a small scale. Next to "Goin' to the Party," which vanishes in less than two minutes, the raging "Be Mine" feels like an absolutely gargantuan epic at four minutes, 15 seconds.
