Stupid T&A magazines. Great fun this piece. Off to buy the CD first thing tomorrow. NO, I do not "download" man. I buy the music. Call me a sucker.

Thankfully, The Crowes outed Maxim and Peisner. It turns out they pulled the same thing on a rapper named Nas. There are way too many lazy, untalented hacks who just spew their chum in the waters of pop culture criticism and the 'net has given more of them access. They really don't care about writing; they just want the label. They are focused on getting free stuff, making some dough, and drawing attention to themselves even though they don't do the heavy lifting required. What's funny is incidents like this and that idiot DJ Electra from Chicago, who played the entire Icky Thump before it was released, are the ones who cause artists to turn away and say, "Screw you, we are going straight to the fans." While everyone wants to blame the music industry for what's wrong in music today, it is just as much the fault of thieves, hucksters, and the music-buying public who have helped shaped the direction of where things are headed. Thanks for the comments.

First, you really did brilliantly nail the pathetic fraud perpetrated by Maxim. It's an outrage what they did to the Black Crowes, their readers, and journalism in general. Shit like this reinforces the band's decision not to make their records available in advance for honest writers to review and that's a real shame. This is a stain. To the review, I'd never thought of the Crowes' ballads but you are right; they do them well. Dickinson is a fantastic addition to their sound, Ronnie Wood comparisons or not.

As would many, many music writers who have come before you, Pico. Imagine if The Crowes did some shows with Wood the way they did Jimmy Page a few years back. The music they make might would be so dense from Wood-infusion it would likely collapse in on itself like a black hole. Best to save the mushrooms for that night. Might be the only thing to prepare you for what's on the other side. I still need to d-load that NMAS show, but I really liked Luther on this disk.

If I had to describe gritty, raunchy rock without comparing it to Ron Wood-affiliated bands, I'd be speechless ;&)
