Free Music Notes for By Your SideFree Music Review: Powerhouse Riffs. Hit: 5 StarsIt is so nice to hear a band that can still deliver powerfull and musical rock riffs. I know nothing of the individuals in the band nor their history but I recoginize a great collection of songs on one CD when I hear it. As a bonus, it's very well engineered.
Free Music Review: Back to their roots. Hit: 4 StarsOn this one, they go back to what they do best. This is a return, musically, to the sound they had on their first CD. They strip away everything else and just get back to basic rock 'n' roll, something they do better than most groups out there. My only minor comlaint is that the songwriting isn't up to their usual standards.
Free Music Review: Don't Just Dismiss These Guys Hit: 4 StarsIf the Black Crowes had decided to rest on their early 90's fame and fortune, they'd still be remembered fondly...but they've chosen to move ahead, and the results on By Your Side are a happier Chris Robinson and some nice crunching riffs...I defy one to find a better riff than Horsehead from one of the Neo-90's bands...and they still kick some rear live!
Free Music Review: A good disc Hit: 4 StarsBY YOUR SIDE once again shows the BLACK CROWES rockin' like they did with their first albums. The album starts off with GO FASTER, which is straight ahead no-holds barred rockin' song that is a great way for the album to begin. KICKIN' MY HEART AROUND continues right where FASTER ended, it is another no nonsense rockin song. BY YOUR SIDE slows the tempo down abit. I like this song, it has emotion to it, of course CHRIS comes off sounding alittle like Rod Stewart on this tune, thats not a bad thing. HORSEHEAD is a down and dirty rockin song, its a hit. ONLY A FOOL, HEAVY, WELCOME TO THE GOODTIMES, are also good songs. One song that I find myself listen to over and over again is DIAMOND RING. It has a gospel, R&B sound that makes it a real pleasure to listen to. I think this disc would make a wonderful addition to any serious music fans collection.
Free Music Review: Not as good as Three Snakes and One Charm Hit: 3 StarsBlack Crowes still rock, but they lost the charm and grittiness of TSOC. If you want a great Crowes album get that one or Southern Harmony or even Amorica. For those new to The Crowes, I recommend Southern Harmony however. That's an easy album to love.
