CD Description
When the Black Crowes released SHAKE YOUR MONEYMAKER in 1989, the alternative music revolution was a couple of years off as hair bands and mall queens cluttered the airwaves. The Crowes' debut was a straightforward rock & roll album named for an Elmore James song and recorded by a band fronted by an impossibly skinny lead singer and a pair of riff-happy guitarists. Sure, songs such as "Sister Luck", "Twice As Hard" and "Jealous Again" may have struck a little close to the sound the Rolling Stones and Faces were trading in during the early '70s, but there was nothing contrived about the Black Crowes' music. Despite being in their early 20's at the time, brothers Chris and Rich Robinson showed a knack for writing about soul-searching ("Seeing Things") and tragic characters ("She Talks To Angels") when they weren't busy tearing upthe joint ("Thick N'Thin"). These sons of the south even turned a new generation on to fellow Georgian Otis Redding when they covered his "Hard To Handle". This album not only kicked off a controversial career but helped put Rick Rubin's fledgling label on the map.

Customer Reviews

Proper Rock Music - Listen and learn.
What can be said about this album is simply that it is Rock music how it is supposed to be in every way.
Seriously, when you put it on you CANNOT resist it's incredible draw. It WILL make you sing and dance around like an idiot and play air guitar, air drums and air just about everything else.

Status Quo wish they were half this good, The Stones wish they had remained this good and most "Rock" bands have clearly never listened to this or they would be doing the same type of thing.

If you like Rock music it is criminal not to own this album, FACT!
If you don't like Rock music you obviously never heard this album and you should buy it immediately or you will die horrifically (or maybe not)

In short,
If you do not own this album you are missing something in your life and are an incomplete person.

DO IT NOW!!!!!

I just can't recommend this "The Black Crowes" album. If you are a fan and don't have it, why not?
