I bought two sets, one for myself and one for a best friend & his wife. We have all been Crowes fans since their first album and I know I, for one, am a FFL (fan for life). I can't say which tune is my fave and can only say that these two CDs have been in the CD player in my truck for a few months now and I have not tired of listening to them. Also ripped them to mp3 format and listen at home and at work when I feel like it, pretty often that is. Don't miss them live, I've seen them countless times, from small theatres to arenas and they have NEVER DISAPPOINTED PERIOD! This is an eclectic set of songs ranging in style from rock/blues to country and the Robinson bros writing is some of the best. The way Chris tells his stories in song is great. The tales are not laced with stories of excess and bling and are told in such a manner that they totally relate to your average Joe/Jane's tales of heartache and lost love, amongst other things. Over the years I've sang, laughed and cried to many of their songs during great times and bad times in my life. I'm a man and I admit that wholeheartedly!! It is great hearing different takes on some of the songs that did end up being released later and also hearing If It Ever Stops Raining which eventually morphed into By Your Side. The songs that were never officially released are all great too! If you like The Black Crowes and do not own this set, do yourself a huge favor and get it NOW, you will not be disappointed!! Peace to all, everywhere!Read full review
Both cd's are really, really great music but disk 2 really outshines disk 1. You may recognize the tracks on the list but this "Lost Crowes" set provides you a different take on the Black Crowes material because some of these songs are actually alternative versions of ones that actually were then released on studio material. If your a fan of the band, or just a lover of bluesy rock music with outstanding guitar then you'll probably find yourself playing these disks a lot. If your a fan of the band, especially if you really like the first couple Crowes releases "Shake Your Money Maker" & "Southern Harmony & Musical Companion" then you'll really need to buy this too, the music is along the same lines as the early songs and will leave you wondering why some of this stuff wasn't actually released before.Read full review
I thought that it was really cool to get this. As a Crows fan, it was fun to hear these albums. It's definately not my favorite from them but I believe it is worth your money to get your own copy. I think I liked "Tall" better but they were both pretty good.
If your a fan, these albums (2 disks) have some different takes on some favorites. You won't be blown away by new stuff. But some songs that have shown-up on different records will sound new.
great insight into the band as a creative process between southern harmony and amorica. definitely worth picking up for any crowes fan.
