Crowes List Of The Now


1. Wiser Time (including intro), Amorica.

Nothing can be said about this song. It demands to be heard.

2. My Morning Song, The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion.

Few bands produce this much rock their entire career, much less within six minutes and sixteen seconds.

3. Thorn In My Pride, SHMC.

The only song on this list, or in the Crowes' library, that even comes close to matching Ed Harsch's keys work on Descending.

4. Poor Elijah, no studio version released.

Amazing blues jam that they've started incorporating into their live shows on this side of the 2008 Warpaint release. Luther Dickenson's slide guitar is no more masterful than when he's soloing on this song.

5. Girl From The North Country, no studio version released.

Cover of the Dylan ballad with a heavy amount of Crowes rock thrown in the microwave.

6. Seeing Things (Live), studio release on Shake Your Money Maker.

For sure, one of Chris' most vocally impressive songs. Gets even better as Chris gets older.

7. Move It On Down The Line (Live), studio release on Warpaint.

From Coach: "This is a Zeppelin riff if I ever heard one!" And so, he was right. Great psychedelic intro gives way to freak-rock revival. Blow a gasket, fuckers.

8. Descending, Amorica.

Part great ballad, part one thing I can play on the piano. Works for me.

9. Twice As Hard, SYMM.

First song off the first album, and still stands as one of Rich's top all-time riffs. Feel-nomenal.

10. No Speak No Slave, SHMC.

You could, and likely will, break a bone while listening to this song. It's that hard.



This has got new feature written all over it.
