The second studio album from Alabama Shakes is a soul - and - blues - filled gem. This band, led by the talented Brittany Howard on vocals and guitar, along with Heath Fogg on guitar, Zac Cockrell on bass, Ben Tanner on keyboards, and Steve Johnson on drums, creates a funky sound with heavy rhythms and a touch of theatricality in Howard's guitar playing. It's slow - burning Southern rock and soul music that will appeal to both fans and new listeners. The deluxe edition comes with revised artwork, new photos, and seven bonus tracks from unreleased studio material, b - sides, and live songs recorded at Capitol Records Studio A. Features include a red, pink & black mix colored double vinyl pressing, housed in a gatefold jacket with alternate cover art and printed inner sleeves. It's a limited edition from ATO Records 2021.
To enjoy this vinyl album, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the gatefold jacket by holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place the record on the turntable and set the tonearm carefully on the starting groove. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. Then, put the vinyl back in the printed inner sleeve and into the gatefold jacket. Store the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it. Also, handle the vinyl with clean hands to keep it free from dirt and dust that could affect the sound quality.
