Alabama Shakes literally burst onto the music scene in 2011 and are now headed to release their debut album in April under ATO Records. Boys & Girls features Brittany Howard and co. playing some solid soul grooves with Janis Joplin meets Otis Redding vocals that ache more than you could expect from a woman in her young 20’s.  It’s sure to be one of the best albums of 2012, but for now enjoy the stellar live cut “Always Alright” which (somehow) didn’t make the album. 

Always Alright- Alabama Shakes (Live From San Francisco’s Independent) 

Dawes co-headlined the bill with Blitzen Trapper on Friday night at the Royale and were every bit as equal as their counterparts, even running through a great cover of Paul Simon’s  "Kodachrome".  As great as Dawes is as a band in their own right, they prove to be equally up to the task in their covers, as evidenced in this tackling of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy”.  For the free download check out the link below, and catch a video of their performance of  "Kodachrome" from Philadelphia and “Time Spent In Los Angeles” from the Boston show.

First up, an awesome danceable remix of Wouldn’t It Be Nice by the Beach Boys, done by the Girls Can Hear Us

Wouldn’t It Be Nice (The Girls Can’t Hear Us Remix)

also Jay-Z’s new album leaked, The Blueprint 3.  I can’t say I like most of it, but this is the best track I’ve heard so far.  I didn’t know Kid Cudi could actually sing, and if he can’t thats the most natural sounding vocoder in history

Already Home (ft. Kid Cudi)

Another track from last posts bonus artist, Kings of Convenience, this is yet another catchy guitar piano driven melody with great backing vocals from Feist

Love is No Big Truth

a live cover of Snoops classic Gin and Juice from the hip-hop blues specialists G. Love and Special Sauce, more smokey than the original if you could imagine it

Gin and Juice
