Description

It's certainly been a while since real rock and roll actually ruled. Sine the early nineties, it's been turgid riffs, angsty, screamy vocals, and no positive attitude whatsoever, and very few examples of a good ol' singalong. But while Nirvana were releasing their overated opus, 'Nevermind', The Black Crowes had already released '$hake Your Money Maker'. Rock N' Roll was still alive.At the time, the form of music The Black Crowes were playing was unfashionable and uncool (as just about anything was other than long, greasy hair and black and red stripped long sleeve shirts), and amazingly theymore… still broke through. Their combination of influences from the likes of The Rolling Stones and The Faces, The Black Crowes created a Rock And Roll renaisance.On their greatest hits album they have selected the majority of The Black Crowes finest tracks. Fine, good-times rock, completed by mysterious and powerful balladry, provide a fine collection for anyone who still lives in the 70's in their mind and in their CD players.The likes of 'Jealous Again', 'Twice As Hard', and the international break-through, 'Remedy' all provide fine rock songs that is surely how the 'Stones would sound if they'd appeared in the 90's, accompanied by their very good latter day works, which were never quite as good, but 'Kickin' My heart Around', 'Go Faster', and the nearly-ballad, 'Only A Fool' provide entertainment. The 'Crowes also know how to write a ballad or two as proven in fine style with the likes of, 'Thorn In My Pride', and in my opinion their best song, 'She Talks To Angels'. Combining fine, mysterious lyrics, an acoustic introduction, with an irresistable organ section, 'She Talks To Angels' is indded one of the finest love songs of the last 20 years or so, and still keeps the rock and roll vibe alive.16 tracks of stomping rock and roll are great for a nights entertainment and will keep you coming back, but there are perhaps ones or two additions missing that really should have been included, most notably 'Sometimes Salvation', but this is a fine package of what The 'Crowes did best, and an essential for those who still want to truly rock.4.5 Stars.
