What a band, what a voice. Just got some very bad news of the death of a friend while Hold On was playing, what can I say, they couldn't say it better.

[DeMonSpencer]

WOW!  Why is this the first time I've ever heard this band?  They are phenomenal!  I had goosebumps 30 seconds into the first song.

[gruffsxtuff]

This woman has a magnificent echo chamber for a throat and a spectacular amphitheater for a mouth. Her entire group is incredible. What great talent.

[breandanc]

Brittany has a voice that I have not heard since Joplin. I seriously thought Blues Rock died in 1981, but thank god it's back. Love you guys!

[hunterbennettify]

Im so happy to see real musicians getting some recognition.. please keep melting us with that golden soul.

[iloveartimus]

Her voice is a gem. It is so rare to find such a soulful voice nowadays.

[QbidMusicandMore]

How can the radio host be so calm? The most awesome band to hit the scene in 20 years is right in front of you.

[RussKendrickMartin]

I can't imagine how  any one could dislike this!!! She's an Old Soul in a young body--an awesome voice that just connects with each word so nicely. This band takes the old groove and makes it so fresh and new. It's enough to make this guitar player misty. I love it!!!

[TheHooliganification]

Geez, what an amazing band. Its sad only a small percent will be blown away by this truly original music but im glad I treated my ears with this.

[niallaptz]

An inch a way of curing the world of hopelessness with her voice.

[zlh]

I feel comfortable saying this is the band of the 2010's. Already. Such a great, great debut album and these are the 4 best songs from it imo. Great video!!!!

[moorespat]

all us seniors that love southern blues love this sound. the shakes sound like Big Brother and the Holding Company.

[ghostie]

I always think about how luck the radio hosters are. They basically get free concerts every day.

[gvc]

This young woman has a voice that reaches deep into your soul. She has a wonderfully deep rich sound that will get you up out of your seat and want to dance. It is quite refeshing to hear this gritty, hard rock and roll sound again, it's been a long time since I heard such good music.

[MrBGB]

This is Americana rock at its best! The Alabama Shakes absolutely kick ass!
I loved all their songs on KEXP-FM, yet the obviously saved their best, and most
famous song, "Hold On", for last! Pure genius, on their part!

I really enjoy listening to these guys...She's playing an old Harmony guitar. Lots of soul which is lacking in most of today's music. Nice to see you on the Grammy's to.

[freakpower]

[TheNego]

You have taken the words out of my mouth, Im 28 and thought Id be listening to old records for the rest of my life! I guess not! hahaha! Im glad to hear some new "Old" music!
