Classic rock & roll owes an eternal debt to The Black Crowes, since with their debut album "Shake Your Money Maker" they would once again regenerate a style and return it to the top of the charts.
They borrowed rock with hints of southern sounds, and without sounding like cheap copy and failing badly, they brought it back into fashion in the nineties.
However many doubted the ability of the band to compose their own songs when their first hit was a muscular version of the Otis Redding song "Hard To Handle", however songs like "Twice as Hard" or "She Talks to Angels" they would prove everyone wrong.
With their second album The Back Crowes they would make the definitive leap developing their own style that would take them to number one on the charts with a superb work.
"The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" is a magical great rock album, with compositions of the highest quality that could perfectly have been published at any time in the 70's, for its genius and that classic hard rock that the greats distilled bands of that time.
Thanks to my friend Grey for having introduced me to this band-
