2015 release, the highly anticipated sophomore studio album. Alabama Shakes Sound & Color is the follow-up to the band’s Gold-certified debut album, Boys & Girls, which earned the group three Grammy nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist. Sound & Color demonstrates the tremendous strides made by a group of musicians who had only been playing together for a few months when they recorded their first album. From the searing single “Don’t Wanna Fight” to the garage-rock freak-out on The Greatest to the psychedelic space jam Gemini, Alabama Shakes build on the soulful blues-rock base and map a surprising, innovative new direction.
