Review - :
The addition of the more technically gifted guitarist {$Marc Ford} and a full-time organist gives {$the Black Crowes} room to stretch out on {^The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion}, perhaps the band's finest moment. Using {$Rich Robinson}'s descending chord progressions as a base, the band grooves its way through a remarkably fresh-sounding collection of {$Faces}-like rockers and {\ballads}, tearing into the material with flair and confidence and really coming into its own as a top-notch {\rock & roll} outfit. But while the focus is undeniably on the band's musical chemistry, {^Southern Harmony} also boasts a strong collection of songs, striking a perfect balance between the concise {^Shake Your Money Maker} and their later, more jam-oriented records. While there aren't as many obvious singles as on their debut album, {^The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion} is the best expression of {$the Crowes}' ability to take a classic, tried-and-true sound and make it their own. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
