The Black Crowes – The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion: Remastered

Multi-platinum-selling second studio album by The Black Crowes, reissued

Featuring the hits “Remedy,” “Thorn in My Pride,” “Sting Me,” and “Hotel Illness”

“Everything on The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion works, including the oblique title, which Chris Robinson took from a hymnal. The rhythm section is propelled by Steve Gorman’s take-charge yet musical drumming. Johnny Colt remains on bass, but since Money Maker, Marc Ford has replaced rhythm guitarist Jeff Cease in the band and Ed Harsh has replaced Chuck Leavell in the studio on keyboards. These changes have only improved the rich tapestry of sound that backs Chris Robinson’s singing and his brother’s flamethrower lead guitar. George Drakoulia’s production is sharp enough to give every instrument its proper voice, yet the sound has the welcome looseness and texture of a concert recording.” — 3.5 Stars, Gregory Curtis, Rolling Stone

The Black Crowes’ 1992 album The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion has been remastered for vinyl reissue. The album remastering has been overseen by Chris and Rich Robinson and album producer George Drakoulias. Audio was sourced from the original 1/4″ production master tape.

The second studio album by the band, it was the group’s first to feature Marc Ford on lead guitar, replacing Jeff Cease, who was fired the year before, and the first to feature keyboardist Eddie Harsch. The album’s name derives from the full name of the Southern Harmony, an influential 1835 hymnal compiled by William Walker.
