THE REVIEW
It takes very little to understand that the guys from Atlanta mean serious business with this album. Already from the first song, you're swept away by the entire content of this splendid CD, which is rhythm, an exceptional production in my opinion (there's even the touch of the well-known Brendan O'Brien), truly "raw" guitars and bold riffs. The entire work oozes black influences. At the same time, we find references to that rock which once was... oh yes, the Black Crowes pay homage, or rather they show all their love for the Stones, Led Zep, and all that Southern Rock epitomized by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Bros.
To confirm what's been said (written), I mention: "No Speak No Slave", "Hotel Illness", "My Morning Song", and the splendid "Remedy". Our guys show they handle ballads exceedingly well too, "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye" is an example, enriched by a superb performance from the black female choristers... who are very Southern.
For cover and alternative version enthusiasts, we have a cover of RNM's "Time Will Tell" and a beautiful "Sting Me" slow acoustic version with a great Chris Robinson. In conclusion, a great album of Dirty Southern Rock where America's Black Crows demonstrate and confirm themselves as one of the last great Rock Bands.

"The Black Crowes are adept at capturing this idea with their second album 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion', halfway between Lynyrd Skynyrd and the hard rock of Led Zeppelin."
"'My Morning Song' has a 'full' sound thanks to the perfectly combined guitars and is the best that the Black Crowes could have created."
