Maybe this has been noted in the thread, but I caught "You Ain't Alone" in a Zales commercial last night.

This may be somewhat offensive to some on this board, but has anyone else compared Brittney to Adele? Both very soulful young ladies with a big voice. I give Brittney the ups on musical style and guitar slinging, though. Just a thought.

Adele has a great voice, and some good songs (I'm not as convinced as the mainstream that every song on her last album was great), but I think Howard is beyond that. She's a great front-woman. She owns that band, the stage, and the crowd when she plays.
Just put the goddamn record on and enjoy it

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. ACL, selling out clubs all over the US, touring Europe, etc. Crazy indeed.

I just got home with a copy of the Third Man Records live 7 inch. It's pretty-much bad-ass. Go get it.

Good call Cortez, those guitars do sound Stonesey. They channel a lot of different stuff. Their whole vibe just screams retro.
