Free Music Notes for Lions
Free Music Review: Cracks showing....
Hit: 3 Stars
It's my feeling that the Black Crowes were struggling with a lot of stuff before and during the making of this CD. The brothers Robinson weren't getting along (have they ever...LOL) and the band had seen a lot of their sales decrease with each album past "Southern Harmony..." It was probably thought that a label change and a new producer, Don Was, would revive their creativeness and, hopefully, sales of their new material.
Despite the mismatch of producer and artist, I still think "Lions" is a good CD. I like many of the songs and even though the production is a bit too slick for my taste, I enjoy listening to this CD. "Soul Singing" is a particular favorite.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Crowes open for Dave Matthews Band recently, so I came back to this CD to listen to it after they played a couple of songs from it live. My overall opinion is that it's not their best work, but it's a good listen (I don't think they ever really made a bad album, anyway).
Lions Poster
"Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown," sings Chris Robinson, and the vibrant, roaring music on Lions supports his claim to rule the jungle. Working with producer Don Was, the Robinson boys and crew make bold sonic leaps forward, sounding both heavier and more nuanced simultaneously. In the mid-1990s the Crowes' attempts at experimentation were much less successful, often sounding forced or, worse, underdeveloped. With 1999's By Your Side, the band seemed to make a conscious attempt to strip it all down and get back to basics. Lions continues that resurgence, and thanks to Was's influence, builds mightily on that foundation. The good-time swampy swagger is still the defining factor, but for the first time the sonic coloring enhances the tunes as opposed to sapping them of their energy. All the songs flow together, giving the album a cohesion that previous efforts have lacked, and Was generates a bold, vivid sound. And yes, it does seem quite conducive to loud volumes. --Marc GreilsamerClassic Rock Music CDs
