Alabama 3 – Hits And Exit Wounds

Out on CD and Double Black Vinyl.

In celebration of a long, esteemed and wholly unique career that saw The Guardian dub them “the best live band in Britain”, Alabama 3 released a definitive retrospective in April 2008. The album featured material from Exile On Coldharbour Lane, La Peste, Power In The Blood, Outlaw, plus some previously unreleased material.

Alabama 3’s fusion of styles has been described as “sweet, pretty, country acid-house music.” The band’s ‘Woke Up This Morning’ is well known as the opening theme music to esteemed mob drama The Sopranos.

Fans include authors Irvine Welsh and Stephen King. King has appeared onstage with the band and Welsh wrote of them: “the first band I could ever dance to in the daytime hours without chemical assistance. That says a lot.”

“Some of the most infectious, well-rooted grooves you’ll hear.” – The Independent

“Imbued with a narcotic potency.” – Q

“Devilishly intoxicating – the ultimate good-time bastardos.” – Classic Rock 

“An excellent introduction to this band.” – Clash
