Free Music Review: Worst Album by the Crowes
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this album that day it came out, listened to it twice and put it on my cd rack severely disappointed. Every two years since, I grab the CD thinking, "Hey, it's the Crowes, it can't be -that- bad". And every time, I put it back on the shelf.
It come down to this, if you like the Black Crowes and don't have this album, don't buy it. I read all the press when this came out. The album was supposed to be a return to their early days (ala Shake Your Moneymaker). In my opinion, Moneymaker is good, but not nearly as good as Southern Harmony and Amorica. Although By Your Side has the Shake vibe, it is at best secondhand rehash of that album.
In reading the positive reviews about this album, I have to think the authors aren't normally Crowes fans. This album sounded like a hollow attempt to reclaim radio glory. If you like radio rock, it might be for you. If you think the Crowes are best when they are experimenting and grooving (ala Amorica) stay away from this one.
By Your Side Poster
All right, we know the Crowes are going to sound like the Stones, and by no means is this an insult. The question is, what era of Stones--the assured bluster and raunchy groove of Exile on Main Street or, gasp, the going-through-the-motions of Steel Wheels? Thankfully, their first studio effort in two and a half years tends mostly toward the former. The Robinson boys have actually managed to magnify both their gritty Southern soul (with funky keyboards and vibrant background chants) and their heavy-hitting majesty (with screeching guitar and thumping percussion) simultaneously--and there's still room for some appealing hooks. That's not to say that their songwriting has improved or that their musical vision has broadened considerably; innovation has never been their strong point anyway. At worst, By Your Side is still a big improvement over 1996's often listless Three Snakes and a Charm; at best, it's living proof that the classic Stones swagger--refracted through the Crowes' mounting years of experience--still holds significant sway. Being called the "Stones of the 1990s" is still a compliment (albeit a left-handed one), and at this point they do the Stones a damn sight better than the Stones themselves. --Marc GreilsamerLimited edition pressing of the band's highly anticipated1999 album with a two track bonus disc featuring rarities,'It Must Be Over' and 'Twice As Hard' (from VH1 Hard RockLive). 13 tracks in all, with the album featuring thesingles 'Kickin' My Heart Arou
