Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color

Sound & Color (Deluxe Edition on Limited Edition "Tidal Wave Blue" Vinyl)

Certified gold-selling and winner of four Grammy Awards!

Revised artwork, new photos plus seven bonus tracks pulled from unreleased studio material!

Deluxe edition of the groundbreaking, genre-defying second album by Alabama Shakes. Certified gold and the winner of four Grammys, Rolling Stone called Sound & Color a "weirder, woozier, fiercer and sexier record than their debut in nearly every way."

This repackaged set features revised artwork, new photos, and seven bonus tracks pulled from unreleased studio material, b-sides and live songs cut at the world renowned Capitol Records Studio A.

"Yes, singer-guitarist Brittany Howard still taps classic R&B vocal moves, those spirit-channeling shouts and moans; guitarist Heath Fogg still echoes licks from Al Green sideman Teenie Hodges and Stax mainstay Steve Cropper. But they're touchstones that get transformed by production fit for a cannabis dispensary. The title track kicks off the album with a statement of intent. Vibraphone notes float by in deep reverb, suggesting a classic slow-build soul burner like the lonely brass that opens Otis Redding's 'Try a Little Tenderness.'

"But it's all foreplay: Howard's voice enters in layers, settling into a hall-of-mirrors call-and-response chant while discordant strings tug at the melody and electronics flicker like old bar neon. 'A new world hangs outside the window/Beautiful and strange,' Howard sings with a delicious born-again dreaminess." — Rolling Stone
