SOUND & COLOR: THE ALBUMS, 2015.


24/alabama shakes/sound & color

A new world hangs outside the window, beautiful and strange. You hear it. You can see it. And you most definitely feel it. In every full bodied wail, structure supporting bass, and menacing strum of the guitar. It warms and comforts you, exhilarates too. The sounds & colors. (Southern) American Beauty that is urgent & unforgiving, robust & layered; commanding your attention without asking for it, and often shaking you to the core. The sound and the color, these rhythms and blues. Histories referenced and refreshed, tinkered with and made anew. A touch of the blues, large doses of rock, huge lathering of soul. Owned and handled, and quite the sight to behold, with a ferocity that is often jaw dropping, beautiful, and strange. This brand new world & album number two. Sound & Color.  
KEY TRACKS: Don't Wanna Fight/Dunes/Gimme All Your Love
