Alabama 3 – Step 13 – 2021
TEP 13 is the brand new album from South London collective Alabama 3, their first work since REVOLVER SOUL (2010) and the tragic death of frontman Jake Black aka The Very Reverend D. Wayne Love in 2019. Wayne Love in 2019.For the production, Alabama 3 brought in Cam Blackwood (George Ezra,Jack Savoretti, Tom Walker, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes) for the first time to focus on something new, fresh and vital.
The first single (andAlbumopener) WHACKED proves this impressively. A real banger with a catchy hook (“I just wanna get stoned”) that captures the band’s DNA between blues, country, folk, gospel and electro rhythms in a fantastic way and beams it into the present time. Alabama 3 are very much back. Time to get whacked.
