To pull out the 'old reliable' again "I'd heard of the band by name, but wasn't familiar with any of their music". Turns out that I had heard a couple of these tracks ("Too hard to handle" and "She talks to angels") but just wasn't aware that they were Black Crowes songs.
The band was maybe one of the earlier groups to start the fad of reviving the 1960s blues rock sound. Channelling artists such as Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker ("Seeing things") and Tom Petty. They deliver a set of tracks that dwell in the sleazy, greasy good-time aspect of rock n roll, while still delivering a slice of gravity in "She talks to angels" which deals with another rock n roll 'classic'... heroin addiction.
