An overlooked pairing

I don’t know how I never picked it up on radar. I had been a staunch supporter The Black Crowes, but I didn’t know this was coming out (way back in 1999). I think I played it once, thought it was good, and moved onto other stuff.

But I’ve been revisiting Crowes stuff after having seen Magpie Salute last week. So it seemed to make sense to dig out this one. Think about it: the Crowes got to play with Jimmy Page! How many bands can sag that? Fucking cool! And Jimmy got to play with a fucking groovy band. What a great moment in rock.

I don’t think the Crowes get enough credit for what a great band they were. I’d put them right in the Hall of Fame if it were up to me.
