Alabama Shakes Magnificently Perform "Joe" on 'Colbert'

FUSE TV - Alabama Shakes Magnificently Perform "Joe" on 'Colbert'

Late night talk show performances can be pretty paint-by-numbers. But that's not a mode Alabama Shakes are familiar with, and their performance of "Joe" on Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night hit us like a freight train barreling full speed at our hearts.

The bonus track from April's luminescent Sound & Color saw frontwoman Brittany Howard in rare no-guitar, just-me-and-the-mic form. The way she overpowers the stage (and audience) without her axe is unreal.
