Alabama Shakes had a quiet 2013, but that was because they were busy in the studio working on their soon to be released album Sound & Color. Now, they have released the first single off of their forthcoming album "Don't Wanna Fight." The southern rockers' groovy new track is refreshing to the mind and ears. Britney Howard's powerful, soulful voice is on full display in the band's first single in some time.
I had the privilege of listening to Sound & Color last month and I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard. The Alabama Shakes have grown as musicians over the past couple of years and you can tell by the way they blend different genres together seamlessly to create a balanced album with many more peaks then valleys. Sound & Color will be available April 21. Check out their tour dates below.
