The Black Crowes released a live album in the testimony of their latest tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Shake your Money Maker.
Although only the Robinson brothers are left of the original line-up everything sounds good.
Shake your Money Maker came out in 1990 and is to this day their most successful album to date, dragged along by the fantastic Otis Redding cover Hard to Handle.
Although the album that most emphasise their style, made up of rock, blues, country and gospel typical of the Southern tradition, is the later The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.
I prefer their debut album, Shake your Money Maker, which at the time, at the height of the grunge era, was something of an off site.
It was a throwback to the 70s, when rock ruled. But that mix of blues, rock and a lot of energy made it slowly come out.
There is so much energy, an album that does not run the risk of time because it manages to draw you in every time.
