DU Album of the Day: The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion [View all]

[LynneSin]

I'll have to confess, I never thought much of the Black Crowes until the album. After hearing it I found this amazingly soulful band with the heart of a blues band mixed with modern rock & roll. It is said that die-hard BC fans actually don't like this album very much whereas the casual BC fans love it. I guess I must be a casual fan because I just adore this album.

Probably because of "Thorn in my Pride" was this album so popular across a wide variety of people. It was just a soulful, heartwrenching anthem of pain & love that just draws you in from the first notes of the song.

But my favorite song from the album is "Sometimes Salvation" because in the end we all need a bit of salvation.

I got to see the Black Crowes in concert a few years back. Oddly enough we got the tickets because we wanted to see the opening act - Son Volt. But we stayed for the Black Crowes. Lead Singer Chris Robinson is quite the lead singer who pours his heart and emotions out for every song that he sings.
