| | The Black Crowes Album Reviews |
 | | This album is aptly titled, since the influence of the great soul sounds coming out of Alabama’s Muscle Shoals (Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, etc.) in the late ‘60s is even more pronounced here. |
 | | The album begins with “Sting Me,” a greasy Southern rocker with a singable soul chorus, while “Remedy” (the album's hit single) was a great party song featuring ascending riffs, Robinson’s cocky “baby baby” lyrics, some great guitar, and a chorus that kicks you right in the ass. |
 | | But true fans of the band who patiently persevered (the album sneaks up on you only after repeat plays) were amply rewarded, and the band still packed houses on the road, fighting the good rock n' roll fight in the grand tradition of the Allman Brothers Band. |
