Okay. It's been some time since I posted anything about my playlist. Time for me to get back to that though and for good reason. I've been listening to the shit out of this stuff that I haven't listened to much of anything else.

So that covers most of September. Following that and knowing that I have to move on, here are more sounds I discovered only recently that you should get into too.

I just found out about this through the interzone and very glad I did. Powerful stuff, man.
Alabama Shakes(Athens, AL)

The first group to go up included Bonnie Raitt, Jimmie Vaughn and the Alabama Shakes, who played the fuck out of the set!
I'd never seen Bonnie Raitt on the slide guitar before and honestly, it was pretty damn sexy. Don't judge me! As I've gotten older, I've learned to diversify my tastes. But before this, I had never heard of the Alabama Shakes before. And no, I still haven't seen Silver Linings Playbook yet either. They were featured on the Twelve Years A Slave soundtrack but, I tuned the music out for some reason. I know, I suck. But it's never too late to get into good shit man. Take your pick of all the tracks available there and stream em before you buy them so you can hear for yourself. Even if it was a blind purchase, you're good.
