The pages of rock history are littered with bands who have flashed onto the scene with an awesome debut album, but were never able to follow it up. Not the case with The Black Crowes sophomore project, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, which was released in 1992 on the heels of a superb debut record two years prior. Southern Harmony picks up right where the band's first record left off, with enough guitar-heavy radio rock to fill a "greatest hits" album by itself.

A perfect 10-song composition, Southern Harmony blends radio singles ("Remedy" and "Sting Me"), concert staples ("No Speak No Slave") and hidden album gems ("Hotel Illness" and "My Morning Song") to create one of the must-have classic rock and roll CDs of the past 20 years. The beautiful lyrics and soulful crooning that Chris Robinson displays, while in his early twenties, is just as remarkable as young Rich Robinson's staggering guitar work that is reminiscent of his heroes, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Keith Richards. In the early 1990s, The Black Crowes were pulling off a feat that once was commonplace in rock history. But after the glammed up hair metal scene dominated the 1980s, a group of young Southern hippies, talented beyond their years, managed to create blues-based, soulful, classic rock that harmonized like a Sunday morning choir. By most standards, The Black Crowes owned the last decade with a string of great studio records, a greatest hits compilation, and a recent two-CD live recording with Jimmy Page. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion will forever stand as their legendary sophomore effort, and a platform from which a dazzling musical career was launched.
