The Black Crowes' throwback sound is rich in both Southern and British swagger. Their hard-rock hits layer earthy riffs inspired by the Stones' rolling gem “Brown Sugar” over grooves that look to The Allman Brothers Band's loner anthem “Midnight Rider” for their bluesy growl. When the Crowes stretch out, their jams bob and weave like the Grateful Dead's swinging hippie anthem “Truckin'.”
