Alabama Shakes Put Forth A Stunning Performance Of "Over My Head" On 'Fallon'
Riding high on the momentum of their Sound and Color LP and just-dropped live video for "Don't Wanna Fight,"Alabama Shakes brought their dazzling blend of gospel-blues-rock to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon Monday night, performing "Over My Head." A sparse and gusty torch song built of warbling keyboard chords, clockwork drums and, most importantly, singer Brittany Howard's towering vocals, "Over My Head" is a clear highlight of Alabama Shakes' new LP and is without a doubt one of the strongest Fallon performances of the year.
