The second studio album from Alabama Shakes is a soul - and - blues - filled masterpiece. These Southern musicians aren't afraid to show their unique style. Led by the amazing Brittany Howard on vocals and guitar, along with Heath Fogg, Zac Cockrell, Ben Tanner, and Steve Johnson, they create funky rhythms with a theatrical touch, especially evident in Howard's guitar playing. This slow - burning music combines Southern rock and soul, perfect for both fans and new listeners. The deluxe edition comes with revised artwork, new photos, and seven bonus tracks from unreleased studio work, b - sides, and live cuts at Capitol Records Studio A. It's a limited - edition 'tidal wave' blue double vinyl in a gatefold jacket with alternate cover art and printed inner sleeves, released by ATO Records in 2021.
To enjoy this vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the record from the gatefold jacket and place it on the turntable. Use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the lead - in groove. As you listen, sit back and soak in the soulful sounds. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. Then, place the record back in its printed inner sleeve and the gatefold jacket. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Don't touch the playing surface with your fingers to avoid leaving oils and dirt. Enjoy the music again and again with proper care.
