Alabama Shakes: Hold On

Live on KCRW radio

Confession: Hadn’t listened to these guys until this moment. Within 4 bars of this song, I knew I was going to buy this album. By the bridge, I knew I’d go see them live first chance I got. Bands like that are rare for me. 

Last week, a sort of jaded fella that hangs out at my favorite dive (and has seen way too many shows to ever been impressed anymore) told me that seeing them open for The Truckers was the best show he’d seen in a long time. He even used the “impressed” word.
