Alabama Shakes Put Forth A Stunning Performance Of "Over My Head" On 'Fallon'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

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.

Alabama Shakes are currently on tour sharing their spellbinding live prowess with the masses, so check a full tour schedule below and start making plans for how you'll be able to see them live for yourself. It's a captivating, unforgettable experience. But then, don't take our word for it; watch "Over My Head" below and prepare to grin with joy as your heart sweetly breaks.
