Shake Your Money Maker
The 2032nd greatest album of all time
Shake Your Money Maker is The Black Crowes' 1990 debut album, rooted in blues rock, Southern rock and hard rock. It pairs gritty, vintage-tinged guitar work and soulful vocals with a mix of originals and covers, notably the band's take on Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle", and features the acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels". The record emphasizes raw, roots-oriented arrangements and draws on 1960s and 1970s rock and soul traditions.
