Feels much better now that he's a black chick. That was the text The D Man sent to Stark the Vinyl Shark after listening to Alabama Shakes the second time. The first time listening to the band's debut record, Boys & Girls, I actually thought the singer was a stringy-haired white dude from the South. Nice to have that cleared up. And nice to have this notable achievement from Stark: This is the best text I have ever gotten, no matter the context.
Check out Brittany Howard and the boys doing some serious soul-shaking and self-affirmation. "Hold On" is the album's first track and just a positively great groove.

Love it. Such a great album. Feels very familiar yet exciting at the same time.
On an unrelated note, I'm taking my first proper spin with "Bloom" and its pretty fantastic. Hopefully we will have a D Man's post on that soon.
