The Band Sessions

They say the record label didn't to put them out but the looseness and epicness of the whole package just blows away so many safe albums. It has a really live feel which compliments Robinson's voice. It's like Exile on Main Street from Crowes.

In ways yes. The reviewers reckon 'Three Snakes And One Charm' is the Crowes' version of 'Exile on Main Street'.

What does Snoop Dogg have to do with this? :unsure:

Good question...weed?

The Band sessions were released as part of the Lost Crowes set weren't they?

I'll have to check them out again it's been quite some time since I listened to the Lost Crowes, I don't remember much :P

Yeah I never remeber what happened or the titles of the songs cos they arent on the box. But while I'm listening its so great. It's so loose and soulful. There's just not many albums released that are so sloppy. Live albums are so tight nowadays.

From what I remember reading, these songs were ment to be officially released in 97-98.

Internal problems resulted in the band not releasing the material and instead write By Your Side (which I fucking love!)

Yeah some of it is on By Yr Side. Some were for an album called Tall? I thought Tall was supposed to come after BYS, but the band broke up???? Might be wrong tho. Could have been before BYS. They had a slew of live albums and GHs as well. It's great they coming back.

Yeah these sessions are called 'The Tall Sessions'. Their greatest hits came out in 1998/99 and yeah released 2 live albums, one with Jimmy Page.

The Tall sessions was recorded in 1993 or something like that, before the release of Amorica and a couple of the songs ended up there.

Listened to the Band sessions (recorded 1996/1997) yesterday (or the day before, don't remember :P ) they really are great :D

The live album with Jimmy Page is great, it's just to bad they couldn't release the recordings of their own songs because of record company troubles...

To me Southern Harmony rendered grunge obsolete, it has everything, it's classic rock but completely without the cheese, I mean the solos are unbelievable.

But if AFD is gonna get mentioned then Shake Yr Money should be as well because that is as pure and as much of a saviour of rock as Guns were, if not more so...

I can see myself getting a lot of Black Crowes cds when I get Warpaint - Lions, Amorica, Three Snakes as well. There might be a DVD of Southern Harmony stuff somewhere.

Marc Ford is brilliant. I am a fan of Jeff Cease but he obviously didnt cut it in the eyes of the Robinsons. But Ford was a tremendous replacement.

Yeah my favourite album would have to be By Your Side. I adore Virtue and Vice.

I have a soft spot for Three Snakes and One Charm too.

If you haven't you should check out his solo cds and his pre-Crowes band Burning Tree. Amazing.

I saw that Marc Ford solo cd on Amazon. I used have this Crowes acoustic session they did for radio around time of Southern Harmoney, they did everything like Talks To angels, Jealous, and this Ry Cooder track (Boomers Story) which was about 10 minutes definitley worth tracking down.
