The story of the Alabama Shakes begins in a high school psychology class in Athens, Alabama. Brittany Howard, who had started playing guitar a few years earlier, approached Zac Cockrell and asked if he wanted to try making music together. I just knew that he played bass and that he wore shirts with cool bands on them that nobody had heard of, says Howard.
They started to meet up after school and write songs sitting on Howard s floor. It had that rootsy feel, but there was some out-there stuff, says Cockrell. David Bowie-style things, prog-rock, lots of different stuff. We started to come across our own sound a little bit, though it s evolved a lot since then.
