Free Music Review: An Unreleased Gem and a Superior "Amorica"
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the Crowes' best recorded work, save for Southern Harmony.
"Tall" is vastly superior to "Amorica". I've always liked "Amorica", but have long thought the sound was overdone in places. Too many guitars in the mix, distortion, etc. "Tall" is leaner, the instruments are clearer and there is more emphasis on group harmonies (band members and backup singers).
The less-is-more approach suits this particular set of songs, which includes several that didn't make it on to "Amorica." "Feathers", "Dirty Haired Halo", "Evil Eye" and especially the gorgeous "Thundertstorm 654" all could have taken the spots of the lesser tunes on "Amorica".
"Band" is every bit as good and diverse (albeit much shorter) as "Tall" and much better than "By Your Side". Each and every tune is first rate Crowes material.
Highly reccomended.
