5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Crowes Album And Maybe The Best Album of the 1990s, March 9, 2008

It's often been said that a talented band usually hits its stride around its second or third album. The Black Crowes perfectly exemplify this theory with Amorica, their immortal third album from 1994. Until 2008's Warpaint, this was the Crowes' most creative, inspired and dreamy period. Every composition on this album is a winner, from start to finish. Standout tracks? Every one! The "Ballad of Urgency/Wiser Time" sequence is IMHO the Crowes' masterpiece. This is the Sticky Fingers or What's Going On of the 1990s, a well-constructed and tightly-played collection of songs with varying intensity but underlying common ground. If you are new to the Black Crowes, start here!

I was working in a music store when this was released. I knew who this group was and had seen them on SNL many times. I became an instant fan with this cd. While I like many genres of music, I am not a typical rock fan. This cd made a real Black Crowes Fan out of me. They are funky, edgy and just all around naughty on this one. They would probably give one helluva party on the road. LOL

the black crowes released amorica in 1994.amorica was the black crowes third album.after the excellent first two crowes albums;money maker and southern harmony it,s safe to say amorica is a bit of a departure.amorica may or may not satisfy as much as the first two albums do, but their is much to like on this album.i would buy this album for 'high head blues' alone! in my opinion 'high head blues' is the finest track on the album and my favorite crowes tune next to remedy and sister luck.high head blues has what sounds like a santana influence going on with it.other great cuts on this somewhat overlooked album are;gone,wiser time,cursed diamond,ballad in urgency and conspiracy.the prices here at amazon are great.this cd is $7.98 a very good price if you are a collector!
