Alabama Shakes arrived fully formed on Boys & Girls, a 2012 debut that sounded like a lost Southern soul record dragged into a garage and played loud.

Brittany Howard and her bandmates came out of Athens, Alabama, and the album caught fire almost instantly, largely on the strength of a voice that could go from a murmur to a full-throated howl inside a single line. In an era of polished, heavily layered rock, this record felt refreshingly live, with the band leaning on feel, space and nerve rather than studio gloss.

"Hold On" is the song that introduced most people to them, a slow-burning confession built on a lazy guitar figure and one of the great vocal climbs of its decade. "I Found You" swings with old-school R&B warmth, "Hang Loose" struts on a loose, sunny groove, and "You Ain't Alone" is a ballad delivered with enough raw ache to stop a room.

Throughout, Heath Fogg's guitar, Zac Cockrell's bass and Steve Johnson's drums keep things lean and rough around the edges, giving Howard plenty of room to push.

This standard black LP presents the record as it first landed: eleven songs, no frills, and a band that sounds thrilled to be in the room together. It stands as a modern landmark of roots rock and soul.
