THE BLACK CROWES - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (2023 Reissue) - 2CD

2CD - Original remastered album with the bonus CD The Best of the Box containing 9 rare and unreleased selections from the super deluxe box set.  

The addition of the more technically gifted guitarist Marc Ford and a full-time organist gives the Black Crowes room to stretch out on 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion', perhaps the band's finest moment. Using Rich Robinson's descending chord progressions as a base, the band grooves its way through a remarkably fresh-sounding collection of Faces-like rockers and ballads, tearing into the material with flair and confidence and really coming into its own as a top-notch rock and roll outfit. But while the focus is undeniably on the band's musical chemistry, 'Southern Harmony' also boasts a strong collection of songs, striking a perfect balance between the concise 'Shake Your Money Maker' and their later, more jam-oriented records. While there aren't as many obvious singles as on their debut album, 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion' is the best expression of the Crowes' ability to take a classic, tried-and-true sound and make it their own.
