THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION is the second studio album by American rock band The Black Crowes, released on 12th May 1992. It was the first album by the band 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. The Black Crowes were contentious from the moment they burst out of Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1990s. The band’s blues-rock aesthetic won them legions of fans among people tired of 1980s hair metal and synthesized pop. The Black Crowes came across as younger, hungrier, and deadly serious on their debut album, 1990’s Shake Your Money Maker. By the time The Black Crowes’ second album, THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION, appeared in May 1992, 1982-style synths and Milli Vanilli vocals had been bulldozed away by alternative rock. Nirvana‘s Nevermind, Pearl Jam‘s Ten, and other blockbuster albums had made guitar-driven fury and live-sounding production viable once again. Although they lacked the irony and irreverence of bands from Seattle, The Crowes staked their own claim to hard rock. In 1992, it was quite normal to like Nirvana and The Black Crowes. Sounding as fresh as it did in 1992, the album epitomizes the kind of rock that sounds best over a few beers or behind the wheel on a long drive (preferably not at the same time). It's 30-year legacy persists in the strength of its songs, played with all the furious energy that makes for captivating rock music.
PERSONNEL: Chris Robinson – vocals, percussion, blues harp, guitar; Rich Robinson, Marc Ford – guitar; Johnny Colt – bass guitar; Steve Gorman – drums; Eddie Harsch – keyboards; Chris Trujillo – congas; Barbara Mitchell and Taj Harmon (now Taj Artis) – choir.
After hitting big with Shake Your Money Maker, their second album is bigger, badder, more powerful, and classic rock in every sense of the word. THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION is good enough that it compares favorably to the best albums their heroes cranked out in the late '60s and early '70s. The songs are more incisive and heartfelt this time around, the production is more full-bodied, Chris Robinson's vocals somehow sound even more confident than before, and the addition of guitarist Marc Ford to the band does wonders. He and Rich Robinson's rhythm guitars mesh together like a raunchy, long-haired machine, and his solos veer between rib-crackingly ferocious and almost painfully slinky. His lead on the already intense, dramatic "Sometimes Salvation" tears the roof off the song and seemingly pushes Chris Robinson to new levels of passion and pain. It's a magical moment that encapsulates how much the stakes have been raised here and how the band plays it for keeps as they hone their previous template to a fine point and test the waters in exciting new ways. They add some off-kilter, walloping funk to "Remedy", indulge in some rollicking road rumble with "Hotel Illness", slip in some cosmic acoustic gospel on "Time Will Tell" and get Led Zep majestic on "My Morning Song", which comes complete with backing vocalists who sound very invested in the proceedings. The Black Crowes show a more nuanced approach on the ballads. Apart from the rip-roaring album opener "Sting Me", THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION's not quite the immediate punch that Shake Your Money Maker was, but for fans who wanted to dig in deeper, get funky, and land as close as possible to the heart of bell-bottomed, whiskey-soaked rock 'n' roll, it's near perfect.
