Next week, Brittany Howard and Alabama Shakes will embark on the European leg of what has already been a lengthy cross-continental sprint in support of their absolutely brilliant sophomore record, Sound & Color. But before they takeoff, they have blessed the world with a stunning take of their bluesy wonder "Joe" live on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where Howard and The Shakes slow-burn the night away, soaring over the cut. Together the play, stretching out the melodies alongside a full ensemble with back-up singers and a Fender Rhodes piano in tow. If this doesn't pull on your heartstrings, you can always revisit their scorching Saturday Night Live performance or even Howard's surprise solo-ish breakout Thunderbitchfor a heaping dose of rugged, pedal-the-metal rock.

Watch Alabama Shakes hit the tenderest of notes on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert down below and grab your copy of their stunning 2015 release Sound & Color on iTunes today.
