Warpaint
Date undefinedI have never been a huge Black Crowes fan. I like them, I own a couple of their albums, but definitely would not call myself a diehard. Last week I went out and picked up "Warpaint" based on a suggestion from a friend, who IS a huge Crowes fan. I didn't expect much but after three listens I have to say..."Warpaint" blows me away. An absolutely fabulous release! It rocks, it slows down, it rocks again. Not a bad tune on it. I see the reviews on here giving 1, 2 or 3 stars and I just don't get it. This is their best release in over 15 years.
My favorites are "Daughters Of The Revolution" (what a great tune to kick off the album), "Wonded Bird" and "Locust Street" (I once lived on a Locust Street in Ohio, so this song is near and dear to my heart).
I'm telling you, don't listen to what the 1 and 2 star critics say. Pick this one up and decide for yourself. This is one of the best releases of 2008. I know---I'm gushing. But damn this CD is good.

Date undefinedI consider myself a casual BC fan. I saw the Crowes doing an acoustic set on Palladium (HD Music channel) and it got me re-interested in them. I came to Amazon.com and listened to a few samples and from what I heard, it sounded great! So I went and bought the album, popped it in, and from beginning to end was BLOWN AWAY. I have not heard ROCK MUSIC in YEARS!!! THIS was what I have been missing all these years. Oh Josephine is one of the most soulful songs I have heard. Locust St. is an awesome low-key song, and when you throw these songs on here with songs like Evergreen and Walk Believer Walk, you have the perfect rock album. Just, incredible. If you are a fan of ROCK, not this crap that is being put out these days, but true rock.....especially southern rock.....BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

Date undefinedThis album of the venerable BLACK CROWES shows an extremely mature band totally on top of their game. The Black Crowes have always followed the raunchy guitar driven rock mold of the early seventies greats and have done so with more than exciting results. Never have they struck me as so incredibly fearless, so incredibly certain of themselves. This album carries flavors of what are in my humble opinion some of the best records made during my lifetime. There certainly is some of the fearlessness, the almost-sounds-like-a-demo-ness of the Stones Exile on Main Street. Matter of fact, the track God's Got It could have been included in (LP-) side 3 of Exile's original double-LP-set. But I also hear flavors of the first Chris Jagger LP, of Ronnie Woods better solo-work, of the Family.
But what most strikes me when listening (again and again) to Warpaint is the almost arrogant not-in-controlness-equals-total-in-controlness atmosphere. Almost as if they released an album of first takes, with the occasional slip-up here and there, but with all the enthusiasm and FUN and raw musicality this would bring.
Chapeau, gentlemen. Your album has immediately made it to the 'deserted island' list. And thank you, for countless hours of decibel-filled enjoyment.

And BTW what f***ing great guitar tones!
