  her solo stuff is great, but I really miss the Alabama Shakes.. Those two albums are some of my favorite albums of the past 20 years.

  Brittany Howard is truly an amazing woman. Her voice is like nothing I've ever heard. She's a total standout and stands apart from everyone else. When she sings, she SINGS. She puts her heart and soul into every breath, every sound, every word.

  I got to open for Brittany Howard this past week and she brought The Alabama Shakes back together for one night only... incredible moment. Truly a dream come true. She's been an inspiration to me and everyone here in North Alabama.... love you Brittany!!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6UbMzhEXEk&amp;t=124">2:04</a> “I can go where I point.” &nbsp;Brittany dropped a Master Class with that statement alone.

  My stomach dropped when I read the title. I mean I know they haven’t released an album in a decade but I still had hope. 😞

  “Part of me was excited the world stopped.” Nice to hear someone else say what I was thinking.

  She is on a different plane as an artist, a truly world class musician and singer and songwriter and bandleader-like the love child of Nina Simone and Prince-see her live show if you can!

  Saw Britney Howard a few weeks ago and I’m still not over it! She is a magic deity that harnesses the power of the heavens. That you Britney for creating the space for creative spirits to use you are your gifts

  She seems at peace. Still Sound and Color is miles above her solo records. Heath may not be as technically good as the guys she has now, but he has soul. I saw her live a few months back; the 2 guitarists she had sounded like session guys playing their parts. I saw Alabama Shakes a few years back; one of the best shows I have ever been to in my life. And, she is better with a guitar in her hands. Hell of a guitar player!<br><br>She skirts the reason Alabama Shakes ended. We may never know.
