-=- Older & Wiser Crowes -=- June 16, 2008
This is the first Black Crowes cd released in a while, 7 years to be exact. With this release, the band has another new lineup. The driving force behind the Black Crowes, the Robinson brothers are still here. I find this release more laid back than some of the previous releases. Generally, the songs are all good, although there really are no songs that I feel knock your socks off. There will be no songs that change the landscape of the music scene, just good rock and roll. I wish I could rate it higher. My 4 stars is more like 3 1/2 stars, but admittedly it changes everytime I listen. It fluctuates from 3 1/2 to 4 stars every time I listen. If you are a fan, buy with confidence. If you are a casual listener, of course check out the snippets included here on the Amazon site before you buy.
Growing on me... June 10, 2008

I was excited to hear about a new Black Crowes album, to say the least. I expected an album much more inclined towards rock and roll, something towards the edgier side of the Black Crowes. Upon the first listen (I give every new album three listens before I say something definitive...), I wasn't so excited. Very Southern, very folky. Not what I expected, nor what I wanted.
After the second and third listens, I started to hear a lot more in it. "Goodbye Daughter of the Revolution," "Josephine," and "Wounded Bird" started to stand out. Then...
Let's just say that in the past two days, I've listened to the album in its entirety three more times. I LOVE THIS ALBUM! It ended up being one of those sets of songs that took a while to grow on me, and I can't wait to start putting some of these tracks in my playlists. If you've got any sort of tolerance for the growth of rock and roll, buy this album. These guys still know how to stick it to the man.
 Top 5 best of 2008 June 3, 2008

There have been quite a few good albums that have been released in 2008, which raises the hopes of many that good music is coming back. One of the highlights is the highly anticipated Warpaint by The Black Crowes. Their best album since Amorica, the Crowes go back to their roots and even though the brothers Robinson don't get along socially, they have always had a spark musically, and it's never been more apparent than on this album. Songs like Movin on Down the Line, Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution, Whoa Mule, and a cover of Reverend Charlie Jackson's God's Got it, are highlights and shows a whole other spectrum of unexplored ideas the band previously had not endevored. Warpaint has everything a good Crowes record should be. It's not contrived, they still have their authentic classic rock/blues sound they have perfected over the years, and it's an album that grows on you through multiple listens. You notice something different each time. Overall, this is a flawless record in the sense that there are no bad songs on it, and it brings back redemption to a band who, for many, lost their way. Well, they've found it.
 Misleading Title May 30, 2008

Based on the title WarPaint, I would figure that the Black Crowes new CD woud be loaded with hard rocking tunes with a few country laden numbers thrown in for diversity's sake. This is completely not the case. There are maybe four or five rock oriented tunes and there is just no oomph to any of them. They creep along at a slow sluggish pace. The softer more acoustic side of the band is a bit refreshing. The arrangments are clever but somehow one feels that the band is not playing to their strength by getting so mellow
The songs themselves are hit and miss. Daughters of the Revolution and Wounded Bird have fairly memorable melodies. However other tunes take too long to get started. I'm not a big fan of this band. However, the debut Shake Your Money Maker is the prototype that this band should have continued to follow. Too many songs on here are just plain forgettable.
I really hate to say it, but... May 23, 2008

For some reason this CD still leaves me pretty cold (even after 20 or so plays.)
My wifes loves it, but it just seems to be missing something to me (possibly Marc Ford?)
Don't get me wrong... Chris has never sounded better and Steve Gorman lays down one of the greatest groves in the biz to this day, but it just can't hold a candle to "Southern Harmony" or "Amorica" IMHO.
It's still a great listen (especially with all the other BS clouding the airwaves these daze!)
Just my 2 cents friends...
