Rock & roll is back again!

Review Score: (10/10)
From beginning to end, "By Your Side" kept me on my toes! The opener "Go Faster" kind of sets the pace for the album. The songs are more positive lyrically & musically than any other Crowes album. "Kickin' My Heart Around" is similar to Aerosmith's "Draw the Line" & rocks just as hard! Title track"By Your Side" is reminiscent of the Stones' classic, "Tumbling Dice" & has a beautiful chorus. "Horsehead" just plain ROCKS!! "Welcome to the Good Times", the album's only ballad, is kind of a tear-jerker, & "Heavy" is, well, FUN! To sum it all up, "By Your Side" is a rockin' disc! I would definitely slap this one on at a party! Tired of "alternative" BS? Check this one out! This is something called: ROCK & ROLL!!!!!
