    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.

    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.

    "All I believe in is a dream,
    I haunt the earth though I am fully seen"
    That is a *great* line. That is the best line of poetry I've heard in awhile. Brittany Howard is a poet, a musical prodigy and her band Alabama Shakes will be recognized as the first great American rock and roll band of the 21st century.

      Sandra Arbitman Opinions, opinions, we all have them, but they are useless. However this is objectively bad poetry:
      Bless my heart, bless my soul.
      Didn't think I'd make it to 22 years old.
      There must be someone up above sayin',
      "Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up.
      You got to hold on...
      I would much rather be an asshole then be someone blind enough to call the above poetry. Ginsberg, Kerouac, T.S. Elliot, Whitman, Wilde, Keats, Burroughs; all write poetry, not some fat pop group singer with glasses. This is, of course my frivolous opinion.

The second one there will tell you all you need to know about pathetic ol' Victor's mind. Such persons, who live to end others' joy, have no strategy other than provocation because no one wants to interact with them. So don't.
      Besides, Alabama Shakes' shiny new Grammy pretty much does the talking now.

    • @HaydenHancock0

      None taken :) Actually, I have half sister who lived in Muscle Shoals, Alabama growing up, but me being from the west coast, I have a different taste in music then her. But, yes, I'll check out the Muscle Shoals music scene. I'm sure it was different than 30 years ago when my sister grew up there, plus they were very strong Southern Baptists.
      Always looking for great music....will check it out. Thanks.

    A very good interviewer prepared and so nice to such kind and receptive professional musicians. This is a first time to relax and enjoy deeply the soulful sounds that may be retro reading for some but for me, that might apply in my reading while with music, it is about living in the moment and I do not look so hard on the era or state of times going on in the word trying to figure out where inspiration comes from. I believe and know it comes from within this band and all of them are very nice and their responses are kind. Yes, for wishing them continued health and prosperity while music is best in many ways for many reasons, I think.

    She's right: people, somehow, want new experiences on music but refuse to listen to new music. Can't blame them though, since most of the music on the mainstream radio goes like "shake that ass", "I'm young and rich, and I want to party", teens, and beats, electronic noises, and stuff like that. I wish people were as open to new stuff as they're on youtube. They try new stuff here but do not give a chance to local bands. I bet this band had to go out of home to find an open fair audience, just like the Pumpkins, that moved to the right place so they could reach the right audience.
