Back To Their Roots

Review Score: (8/10)
The black crowes have gone back to basics on their new release BY YOUR SIDE. It has the hard hitting southern feel good rock sound of their earlier release, SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER. The songs are well written, and most seem to be upbeat love songs. Towards the end the album does get a little monotonus, but with soon to be classics like, KICKIN' MY HEART AROUND, GO FASTER, and VICE AND VIRTUE, this album is a most have for your collection. Overall this is a hardcore, kick butt southern rock album, with a chilling slide guitar for effect.
