Keepin' It Real!!

Review Score: (10/10)
What a breath of fresh air the Crowes were in 1990, with the release of "Shake Your Moneymaker." If you remember 1990, Roxette, Wilson Phillips, and the twin travesty of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice ruled the charts. Along came the Crowes to put a little bluesy soul in the mix, and since their debut was so needed, it sold a heap. Their second album was also a masterpiece, but for the average rock fan, they seemed to disappear after 1992. This greatest hits CD is a good place to fill in the holes for the average rock fan. You'll find that they had nothing but quality albums for the remainder of the 90's. One thing you can say about the Crowes, they never "doctored" up their music to reach a wider rock audience. Tracks 9 and 10 from their most forgotten album "Amorica" are a couple of my favorites on this CD, but every song is a stone cold groove. Even with most greatest hits CD's, I find myself programming just the songs I like and skipping the rest, but this one just plays from 1-16 with no button pushing (except to raise the volume!). "Blackberry" was 1000 times better than any Stones song from the 90's and you just about can't find a better CD to crank in your car. If the Crowes are truly no more, then this CD shows just what a loss it is for those of us who like our rock raw and dirty.
