        Got to be one best female singers around these days. The band is super tight.

        The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

        It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

            me thinks Brittany hit the “dreaded” Freddie King chord @ 29 seconds (or it’s cousin)

              She does have a way with chords. 🙂

                I was fortunate to see them about 2 years ago when they came up to Alaska. They were super tight and Britney’s singing and guitar playing was awesome.

                  Thanks, among the current groups, there aren’t any I like more than the Alabama Shakes. Never heard this song though. Reminds me of one of my favorite old-timers, Ann Peebles (same band as Al Green’s classic HI records).
