発売・販売元 提供資料 （2013/03/27）

Rolling Stone - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...nine new songs written by the Robinson brothers, filled with arresting chord changes, dynamic tempo shifts, snatches of feedback and other throwaway delights and just enough good lyrics to keep your ears tuned in..." Village Voice - Ranked #37 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992. Q - Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992. Entertainment Weekly - "...a frisky, straight-ahead rock & roll positivism that runs so contrary to nearly everything else in the present singer-guitar-drums category that you can't help but like them..." - Rating: B+ Musician - "...a simple, gut-busting pleasure....a hot and nasty collection of songs striking in their production and arrangement....one kickass album..."

The addition of the more technically gifted guitarist Marc Ford and a full-time organist gives the Black Crowes room to stretch out on The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, perhaps the band's finest moment. Using Rich Robinson's descending chord progressions as a base, the band grooves its way through a remarkably fresh-sounding collection of Faces-like rockers and ballads, tearing into the material with flair and confidence and really coming into its own as a top-notch rock & roll outfit. But while the focus is undeniably on the band's musical chemistry, Southern Harmony also boasts a strong collection of songs, striking a perfect balance between the concise Shake Your Money Maker and their later, more jam-oriented records. While there aren't as many obvious singles as on their debut album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is the best expression of the Crowes' ability to take a classic, tried-and-true sound and make it their own. ~ Steve Huey|
