The Black Crowes- LIONS- CD- 2001- V2 Records, Inc.- 5033197156781- 400 grn
LIONS is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Black Crowes. It was released on 7th May 2001 as their first album on V2 Records following their departure from Columbia, and is their only studio album to feature guitarist Audley Freed. LIONS was recorded in New York City in January and February of that year, and was produced by Don Was. Bass guitar duties were shared by Rich Robinson and Was, as Greg Rzab had left the band and was not replaced until the tour that followed the release of the album. Working with producer Don Was, the Robinson boys and crew make bold sonic leaps forward, sounding both heavier and more nuanced simultaneously. In the mid-1990s The Crowes' attempts at experimentation were much less successful, often sounding forced or, worse, underdeveloped. With 1999's By Your Side, the band seemed to make a conscious attempt to strip it all down and get back to basics. LIONS continues that resurgence, and thanks to Was's influence, builds mightily on that foundation. The good-time swampy swagger is still the defining factor, but for the first time the sonic coloring enhances the tunes as opposed to sapping them of their energy. All the songs flow together, giving the album a cohesion that previous efforts have lacked, and Was generates a bold, vivid sound. And yes, it does seem quite conducive to loud volumes.

If The Black Crowes are anything, they are survivors, weathering years of popularity and disdain, before emerging at the end of the '90s as a rarity, a real, road-weathered rock and roll band, in the classic sense. And it wasn't just that they played classic rock. They stayed out on the road constantly, bashing out albums when they weren't fighting record labels. By the dawn of the new millennium, there weren't many bands like that out on the market, and it was a mixed blessing. It meant that they had an ugly breakup with their longtime label, American, but it also meant that there really wasn't anybody else for Jimmy Page to turn to when he wanted to tour in 1999. Like Amorica album, LIONS is instantly familiar, recalling many common and forgotten platters from the early '70s, yet twisted through a surprisingly individual voice from The Crowes. And, like Amorica, this is more about the music and the texture than the songs, which is disconcerting for anybody looking for the knockout songwriting of their first two records. Still, there's no denying that the group is stretching out and sounds terrific, and not just because Don Was is behind the boards. The group is supple, laying into jams without seeming indulgent, and rocking like a bastard when the occasion calls for it. Here, the songs can seem incomplete, as if they got the sound of the track down, but not the structure. Still, this is a powerful, textured hard rock record that covers a lot of ground, surging from powerful riffs to gospel choruses and funkier-than-expected riffs. There are few bands of their time that could sound so versatile within the confines of hard rock, and if this doesn't really deliver memorable songs, tracks do jell on repeated plays, and The Black Crowes' kaleidoscopic vision of rock's history is reason enough to listen to this record. "Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown," sings Chris Robinson, and the vibrant, roaring music on LIONS supports his claim to rule the jungle.
