92.  The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. (L.P). The Black Crowes. 1992.
Their successful Stones via Faces debut, 'Shake Your Money Maker', appeared in the twilight zone between '80s Glam Metal and '90s alternative rock. The following two years of stardom resulted in this complex, profound and elegant follow up. Darker, haunted and delving much deeper into their Southern rock heritage. (S.S) (Mojo).
This album is one of those "glad I took the gamble" purchases. I'd heard The Black Crowes version of 'Hard To Handle' from their first album and recognised their affinity with Faces era Rod Stewart and the bluesier side of The Stones. It was my kind of album and I still listen to The Black Crowes to this day. C.B.
