Rock Turtleneck's New Favorite Song: "Hold On" by Alabama Shakes


Every once in a while a song just grabs you on the radio. It used to happen a lot more often than it does now, but that makes it all the more extraordinary when it does happen today.

"Hold On" by Alabama Shakes grabbed me a few days ago when I was driving to the train station. It's an unstoppable slab of post-millenial white man's blues in the tradition of the White Stripes or My Morning Jacket -- or so I thought until I saw this video.

The singer is not a white man appropriating a Jagger-esque falsetto, but a woman of color from from Athens, Alabama named Brittany Howard. And she is the real thing.


Alabama Shakes are opening for the great Jack White on his inaugural solo tour this spring. And they have a new full-length record called Boys & Girls coming out on April 10th, which you can pre-order here.

In the meantime, you can "Hold On" by Alabama Shakes for a mere 69 cents right now on iTunes here.

    Yes, this is a great song. I came across them a few weeks a go on the radio and 'Hold On' hit me straight way.I think they'll be big. I hope it doesn't spoil their freshness.

    They also consider if these sites do not
    have a link on your site to the site that linked up with
    you. Therefore it is quite natural for the websites that they
    would fight for gaining that desired position on the search engine result pages.
    If it's offering financial advice or health information, my trust level is probably going to be pretty close to zero.
