Video: Alabama Shakes Unplugged on ‘A Take Away Show’

Alabama Shakes Take Away ShowWe’ve seen Alabama Shakes bring the house down in full-band, electric form live and on their studio debut, Boys & Girls, but a stripped-down acoustic set from two members of the breakout group is a bit harder to come by. Enter la Blogothèque, one of the best producers of this type of fare, for which frontwoman Brittany Howard and guitarist Heath Fogg roamed the streets of Paris unplugged. Not surprisingly, they broke out one of the record’s more subdued cuts, the title track, before a brand new tune made its official debut for A Take Away Show cameras. Watch a moving take on the Shakes’ “Boys & Girls” above and preview their rollicking new one, “Makin’ Me Itch,” below:
