You already know the album's greatest asset: Brittany Howard. Her voice is pure honey in my ears, as she can both softly purr and mightily yell a la Janis Joplin. The rest of the band focuses on its brand of blues/southern rock, with a zest of Americana. It's not 100% original musically speaking, and they would refine their formula on the second LP, but this a cool throwback record for all your mamas and papas.
