Alabama Shakes: Brittany Howard’s post-racial rock Posted on January 18, 2013 by dangrunebaum Brittany Howard’s vocals are imbued with strains of strong soul divas from the black Marva Whitney to the white Janis Joplin. The singer—herself a blend of black and white—takes a post-racial view of music. “It could be black music or white music. Anything with a soul we’re interested in,” she affirms. “Elvis sang and played black music—that’s where rock came from. But I don’t know if our sound is a black-music thing, I think it’s just a music thing.” Metropolis, Jan 17, 2013 Advertisement
