    Im a stage hand. Seen alot of bands, heard ALOT of music live. Ohana festival 2022 Brittany and her band came and played mid afternoon main stage. Until then i hadnt heard of her. Myself and 4 of my other stage hands who were on break enjoyed her set from the eagles nest backstage. I couldn't move, i couldn't speak. Literally took my soul for a ride unlike it had ever been on before. They played this song about halfway through their set and this one brought me to my knees! FOREVER A BRITTANY AND ALAMABA SHAKES FAN!!!

      I personally love the feral cat sounds that mince out of the much hated Ms. Joanna Newsom. Also, the female lead of Carolina Chocolate Drops (can't remember her name o- o) has a badass southern singin' voice a lot like Brittany.
      Good music NEEDS to xome back to the forefront. .... I wish to do inhuman things to radio devices, (depraved, horrible things,) even when I know they don't control the insufferable noise that is deemed popular and diarrhea'd out of their speakers.

Walked up to the window after enjoying St. Patrick's Day weekend, and found 2 tickets, 10 rows back, for $30 each! Regardless of the price, or amazing situation, the show was over-the-moon!

      Nah, not gold. More like someone melted down a big chunk of rusty iron and added some honey to it. I mean that all in a good way. Gold is like some pop singer. This chick has some pipes and a roughness to her singing. Been listening to them most of the morning with my 1 year old daughter, dancing and singing along. Hoping I can get her started on the good stuff so she doesn't get into just the pop stuff that her friends are into when she gets older. I was listening to 60's 70's rock and old blues before I was a teenager and never got into most of the contemporary music of my youth. Fortunately I moved before high school and it was cool to like that music at the new school.

I will be honored to listen to this song during the next six or seven months of my treatments. I thank Alabama Shakes for sending me this message.
    P.S. It doesn't hurt that I'm an Alabama girl!

    Dear Alabama Shakes,I am participating in the Out of the Darkness Walks this morning in Maryland, in my brother's memory, Joey Blanton-Harris, who died by suicide. He was a phenomenal musician and human being. I have been an emotional mess all night, and needed a song to warm my heart and get me going. I simply googled "hold on", as it was the theme I felt the walk represents. Your song was on the list, and was the first one I clicked on. Was I glad I found it! Thank you! I am ready for my mission today. YOU ROCK! God bless you real good. ~Carol Borrelli

    I heard this on Rage TV at about 6-7 am at the end of a huge night of partying, you know when you're feeling all the effects at once and you're emotionally fragile like you can't believe... I could tell by the drums and the intro that it was going to be something special, but I wasn't prepared for how utterly spellbound I was by the raw emotion of her voice and the quality of the musicians in the band. It was one of the few songs ever that genuinely blew my mind the first time I heard it. It left me speechless with my jaw on the floor. AMAZING.

    This woman's voice in incomparable and impeccable. When I feel down this song lifts me up.

    I'm almost 70 now, and a fan of the 70's music ... no pun intended. This is my kind of music. I heard this song, or parts of it in the movie "Dog" tonight. Just wow, what a voice, melody, guitar playing and song!!! I'd never heard of Brittany Howard or the Alabama Shakes. (guess I need to keep up more lol) But, I'm a big fan of both now, and look forward to listening to more of their music.

    Found this song today. It's on repeat for the day. It just makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. 🖤❤
