Alabama Shakes - Be Mine - Jools Holland Live 2012

Great band For more go to -- http://www.alabamashakes.com/ --The band was originally formed when lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard approached bassist Zac Cockrell during a high school psychology class and began meeting after school to write songs. Howard and Cockrell experimented with many different styles of music including roots rock, progressive rock, soul music, country music and classic rock. The two later approached drummer Steve Johnson, who was working at a local music store, to join the band and the trio soon went to a studio in Decatur, Alabama and recorded some of the songs they were writing. Guitarist Heath Fogg joined the band after asking the group to open for his band, to which they agreed on the grounds that Fogg play with them. In an interview with American Songwriter Magazine, Howard explained "we definitely have paid our dues."[2] Though they had been working on original material, they worked up cover songs by Led Zeppelin, James Brown, Otis Redding, AC/DC and others to fill a "one show only" 45 minute set. Newly christened "The Shakes" were so well received, they decided to continue playing together and Fogg became their full time guitarist. The band later renamed in order to differentiate themselves from other bands called the Shakes.[3][4]
