Brittany Howard Jaime

Debut solo studio album by the lead guitarist/vocalist of chart-topping, GRAMMY-winning band, Alabama Shakes. Howard recorded 'Jaime' after a cross-country drive that took her from Nashville to a small house in Topanga, CA - a rustic Los Angeles county town wedged between the mountains and the beach. She titled the album after her sister, who taught her to play the piano and write poetry, and who died of cancer when they were still teenagers. 'The title is in memoriam, and she definitely did shape me as a human being,' says Howard. 'But, the record is not about her. It's about me. I'm pretty candid about myself and who I am and what I believe. Which is why I needed to do it on my own.'
