Lead Performance: The Black Crowes
B+
On their fifth CD,
the Crowes straighten up and fly right, replacing the tuneless
twaddle of their last two albums with the sort of solid,
down-and-dirty ditties they built their rep on. While originality
has never been their strong suit -- the title track is essentially a
sideways rewrite of the Rolling Stones' ''Tumbling Dice''-- this
collection still manages to radiate enough wild-eyed, amped-up
brio to renew one's faith in the restorative powers of good ole
Southern-fried rock & roll. B+
