Apr 22, 2012If your in to the genre then pick this one up, this album really is a perfect example of the best of it in my opinion. A very solid album all the way through, a rare achievement these days that goes on to my list of great albums.
Gorgeous vocals, superb instrumentals.
Bravo Alabama Shakes ;) -
Dec 29, 2014A long awaited return to rock 'n roll. Truly meaningful rock with raspy, heart-wrenching vocals. 'Boys & Girls' is as impressively original as it is retrospective. You'll be craving more and more with each track. 'You Ain't Alone' is one of the best tracks since the heyday of rock 'n roll.

Oct 13, 2012The voice does it! Although the music is also well; without this voice it wouldn't be complete. Get the album as soon as you can and listen it every day!

Dec 9, 2012American blues-rock band. This is their debut album. Name taken from their hometown. But who would have thought that the vocalist is actually a girl named Brittany. She sounds like a broken hearted guy who drink too much whiskey when she sings. Janis Joplin would be proud of you, dear Brittany.

Apr 26, 2012While the result doesn't justify the buildup, there is no doubt that frontwoman Brittany Howard is a major talent.

MojoApr 20, 2012[Boy & Girls] casts Brittany as a soulful singer, but the album is more Xerox copy than feel and spirit based. [May 2012, p.86]

Apr 20, 2012Their roots are just that--roots, not anchors, allowing the group to grow, often in unexpected and quietly thrilling ways.
