Title: Crowes Hit Rock Bottom
Product review: This is by far the worst Black Crowes album ever. I like all the studio recordings, and have an extensive bootleg collection from the Ford/Colt era. Freed's guitar style is WRONG for the Black Crowes. there is none of the intricate interplay between the two guitarists as was always evident in their live shows, and specifically on the Sno Nuf box set live EP. I felt terrible listening to "Live" the first time, it sounds like a band that has sold out to stadium excess. The mix is muddy, Chris' vocals are neither soulful or bluesy. Even the "set list" is less than spectacular. Maybe in ten years the original line up will regroup, revive their original sound, and once again, be the most rock and roll rock and roll band.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
