Some bands can’t do it.  They need songwriters, producers, mastering, and guest vocalists to make their albums worthy.  Put these bands on a stage with only their instruments and their voices to carry them…and most flop harder than fat guy on a high dive.  That’s what amazes me most about the Black Crowes.  Here’s a band that just writes good music.  Kind like what bands used to do back in the day.  How novel.  On their new album (Before The Frost)…they perform all their songs live in a studio session inside a barn.  That’s right…inside a freaking barn!!!  Take that Fall Out Boy.  It’s not only one album’s worth of material…it’s two.  That’s right a blues rock album and country album.  And it’s only $3.99.  Linkin Park’s new album was $14.99 and it was only 36 minutes of music.  Guess which band is overcompensating.
