intro

Latest single from Brixton-based country acid house rockers Alabama 3

What can I say? I discovered Alabama 3 earlier this year and they blew my bobby socks off! This is the second single off their latest album 'Outlaw' and continues the band’s march in their quest to make hella catchy singalong songwriting with a slightly dark twist. 'How Can I Protect You ?'features the Irish Band Aslan singing in the choruses and it only helps the song. (Actually if I am honest it lifts it to a whole new level!) Some critics have slated this song as being far too “pop” in comparison to the rest of the band's country acid house politically slanted mix, but I bloody love it and you will too if you listen!

Track Listing:-

1 How Can I Protect You?
2 Let It Slide (Remix)
3 Terra Firma (Remix)
