5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent stuff, May 8, 2001

By	Todd O. Craven (Cabot, AR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Three Snakes and One Charm (Audio CD)

Why this album is often reviled is beyond me as "ThreeSnakes" is a [great] album, second only in the Crowes catalog to "Southern Harmony" (An absolutely perfect album). While this disc is jammier and looser than other Crowes affairs, the songs are full of emotion. This album is similar in style to "Amorica" & like that album showcases the band's divergent styles & influences, but "Three Snakes" has much more warmth & vitality. The songs here feature sprawling arrangements, but the interplay between Chris & Rich Robinson is still the focus. I can't recommend this album enough, especially with the inclusion of the "bonus" tracks (Just Say You're Sorry, Mellow Down Easy), both of which rank among the best Crowes' numbers.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Disappointment Here...., June 15, 2001

This review is from: Three Snakes and One Charm (Audio CD)

I dont understand why so many people and critics give this album down the road. This is a terrific album and is a great contrast to the big hits of the earlier Southern Harmony... Whats wrong with a band changing up their sound a little. Anyway the album opens with a great song in Under a Mountain. My favorite on the cd is Girl from a Pawnshop. Overall, a great cd and really shows how creative musically the Black Crowes really are. I recommend this to all Black Crowes fans that need something different from the Crowes or just any classic rock fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best rock album of the decade., September 25, 1999

By A Customer

Three Snakes and One Charm. There is a moment of clarity when the true nature of a work is revealed. It is at this instant you come to understand why something is righteous, and what its creators were thinking and feeling during its birth. I had such a moment - and that association grows with every listen of Three Snakes. No, not on the first listen, but that's my cross to bear, not theirs.

This album is purple goodness, tubey joy. From the first note of "Under a Mountain," it creates a space to live and breathe. Breathe it does. Chirs Robinson sings with depth and knowledge. This is a man talking, my friends - and God Bless America. "One Mirror too Many" will burst from your body, commanding attention. "Blackberry" bounces, and what can you say about "Girl from a pawnshop?" Guitar with meaning, it's scarcely common these days.

Side 2 - they're not through. "How much for your Wings" - I can only spare a tear, or two. Give it three chances, you're still upside down on the deal. Enjoy...
