The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

by The Black Crowes

The 3658th greatest album of all time

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, the Black Crowes' 1992 second studio album, expands their blues-tinged southern rock with harder rock and alternative influences. Featuring richer arrangements that incorporate twin guitars and added keyboards, the band delivers gritty, soul-inflected vocals, extended grooves and rootsy, jam-friendly passages. The record blends blues rock, gospel-tinged rhythms and classic rock guitar interplay to broaden the band's sound beyond their debut and cement their place in early 1990s rock.
