SOUND & COLOR: THE SONGS, 2015.


08/alabama shakes/gimme all your love

gimme all your love ain't too proud to beg. it ain't too proud to beg cause it is committed. every lyric, every note, every melody, is committed. committed to being the remedy and making things right. and the work it puts in to get there is monumental and stunning, and incredibly convincing. she's put a spell on you. she and that colossus of a wail has put a spell on you. she and her cohorts have put a spell on you. she and those horns, and that closing guitar solo + instrumental have put a spell on you. and it is mesmerizing. an urgent and confrontational request from the depths of this band's soul. brittany and them have got the blues. them thick, swampy, down home blues. you submit cause you feel it, and you submit cause you have no choice.
