We've got an all-new Jimmy Kimmel tonight with Alabama Shakes appearing. Jimmy Kimmel is on ABC at 12:35 AM. In case, you missed it, here is Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes doing a powerful version of The Band's "It Makes No Difference" with My Morning Jacket at the Newport Folk Festival last month. The video below is the second half of MMJ's set so you can skip to approximately 12:21 if you just want to see "It Makes No Difference" :
Supporting music in Richmond since 2000 - "Father, father / We don't need to escalate / You see, war is not the answer / For only love can conquer hate / You know we've got to find a way / To bring some lovin' here today" - Marvin Gaye, “What's Going On”

Late Night Pick: Tom Waits
Another Late Show with David Letterman repeat tonight and this is the one Tom Waits was on last month which is a fine reason to watch it again. Tom had a bunch of teasers last week that led many to think a big announcment such as a tour or new album was coming. In the end, it was just a new video although the video is pretty cool, crazy, chaotic Tom Waits. Here it is, "Hell Broke Luce":
