The Playlist: Jools Holland: Jack White / Grimes / Alabama Shakes

Later with Jools Holland is still one of the best shows the BBC has to offer us. It's a dedication to live music, and to talented and diverse musicians that is often left by the way side in the current world of TV. It's a show where you will be watching the biggest acts in the world rubbing shoulders with the latest hype, all next to the most obscure artists. There's just one requirement, talent. Simple as. Over the years Jools has provided some truly memorable performances, most notably for me Bon Iver and Seasick Steve.

The latest show was one of the best I've seen in a while, with Jack White, Grimes and Alabama Shakes really standing out for me. Jack White with his energy and incredible live sound, Grimes with her unique, talented and beautiful ways and Alabama Shakes just going balls out and giving it some.
