Jahfin Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've been pretty indifferent to most everything I've heard by Dr. Dog so far but that's really changed with most of the tracks I've heard from their new album, including this tune.

Jahfin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I created an account here to post this. I usually just view the threads here. I think Zeppelin fans will enjoy this fantastic new band out of Alabama. Alabama Shakes.. Welcome to the forum. I've posted about them here several times myself. Their first full length album, Boys and Girls, is due in April. I first heard of them via the Drive-By Truckers. Even though their official hometown is Athens, GA, most of the Truckers are actually from the Muscle Shoals region of Alabama. The Truckers took the Alabama Shakes out on the road last year as their opening act, as did the North Mississippi Allstars. However, it wasn't until the North Mississippi Allstars passed through Raleigh back in November of 2011 with the Shakes in tow that I finally got to see what the fuss was all about firsthand. While their debut EP is the only thing that's officially out there at present, it doesn't really hold a candle to just how kick ass the Shakes are in concert. There's also their take on "How Many More Times" that is well worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll take the world by storm with their official release. Otis would be so proud of Brittany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll take the world by storm with their official release. Otis would be so proud of Brittany I'm not sure if they'll take the world by storm but they've certainly been pretty successful so far for a band that has little more to their credit than lots of good reviews and an EP (that's no longer available, btw). They've been selling out their own headlining shows and are booked for several festivals this summer as well as a taping of Austin City Limits. I'm sure the use of "Hold On" in that Zales commercial hasn't hurt them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not explode into the mainstream, but I do think they will be fairly big. Like you said, they are gaining pretty big popularity without a full length album. They're also playing Bonnaroo if I'm not mistaken. They will gain a lot of fans there, IMO. Edited February 24, 2012 by rendevouspoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The album this comes from (The Old Magic) has been out since last year but the video is new. Look for cameos from Robyn Hitchcock, Wilco and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just heard about this guy earlier this week when some of my friends caught his show at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. In fact, they're still raving about it. It's pretty easy to hear why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
