Amorica. [3CD Deluxe Edition] (2025)

Let op: dit lijkt een LP, maar is een 3CD-set! "After releasing two albums that made them big stars, each having hit singles, the Black Crowes headed a little bit out to left field on "Amorica". Instead of moving further into the pop/rock mainstream, they made a classic album instead. Crafting a sound that's rich and full, with guitars ringing like knockout blows and the rhythm section equally sturdy and flexible, they wrote songs that had dynamics to spare, space to roam, and a rock-solid core. This Deluxe reissue of the album adds some nice goodies including a studio session from 1993 where the band worked through some songs they had started writing while on tour, a handful of live cuts recorded for the radio, and a full version of the album they shelved in favor of "Amorica". Titled "Tallest" here, it's a fascinating glimpse of what could have been their third album. Not as triumphant as what they chose to release instead, so maybe they made the right call. Now fans can decide for themselves." (Allmusic)
