Title: The Best Intro to (and Album Of) the Crowes.
Review: This really isn't much better than "Shake Your Money Maker", but since sophomore efforts are usually worse than originals, you have to give it credit. Not only does it have a lack of horrid songs (a record for this band), it's also the most soul-oriented album by the Crowes.The album gets high marks for such precious songs as "Stng Me" "Remedy" "Black Moon Creeping" and the Crowes best moment since "She Talks to Angels", "Sometimes Salvation". Few low marks come from persistant gospel choir, the urge to end each song with a five second fool-around-with-the-instruments-like-an-orchestra thing, and the usual Crowe flaws. If the band never comes up with a five-star effort, this will remain its triumph.Overall, I'd give it a 92, with an extra 7 points for "Sometimes Salvation".
