“Hang Loose” and “You Ain’t Alone” offered plenty of studio-recorded proof that the Alabama Shakes (formerly just the Shakes) are an incredible new band to keep an eye on, but this clip of the unsigned Athens, AL quartet slaying “I Found You” at a local record shop brings evidence that they’re a live act to behold as well. Here’s hoping the Brittany Howard-led group will tour beyond their home state soon (their debut EP is available at upcoming gigs and in online shops shortly). In the meantime, watch them revive rock, R&B, and soul ‘Live at the Shoals’ above.
