Alabama Shakes - Hold On
I’m sold on Alabama Shakes. Their EP will be on my best of the year list for sure. This tune is timeless pop song perfection. It starts off with a catchy blues rock riff and some Gospel-y lyrics, then piles on the reverb, hits you with a heavy dose of fuzz at the climax, and finally brings it home nice and easy. If you aren’t sweatin’ by that slowdown around 3:20, you may be reading the wrong blog.
Download this track from KEXP Song of the Day or, better yet, pony up your 4 smackers to download the whole thing from Bandcamp.

- kirklove said: I’m totally sold, too. The 4-song EP has been on a steady diet of repeat for me. They’re playing Brooklyn Bowl on December 8th. Excited.
