Brittany Howard Makes Her Declaration As A Solo Star

'As lead singer and guitarist of Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard has earned her accolades and then some. Since 2009, the band has won four Grammys, performed at the White House and heralded some of roots rock's biggest hits this decade. Still, Howard feels the urge to try something new every few years. Now, Howard strikes out on her own. The musician's debut solo album, Jaime is named for the older sister Howard adored — the sister who taught her how to play the piano and write poems.'-- Morning Edition
