Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
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.
