{"product_id":"alabama-shakes-boys-girls-1","title":"Alabama Shakes - Boys \u0026 Girls","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlabama Shakes arrived fully formed on Boys \u0026amp; Girls, a 2012 debut that sounded like a lost Southern soul record dragged into a garage and played loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrittany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499330576689,"sku":"880882641009","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Alabama_Shakes-Boys_Girls.jpg?v=1794505827","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/alabama-shakes-boys-girls-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
