The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, the Black Crowes' second album, is the record that carried the Atlanta band to the top of the Billboard 200 in 1992. It takes its name from the Southern Harmony, an 1835 hymnal compiled by William Walker, which suits a record that sounds half juke joint, half Sunday service.
There were new faces in the room: Marc Ford took over lead guitar from the fired Jeff Cease, and Eddie Harsch arrived on keyboards, alongside the Robinson brothers, Chris and Rich, and Johnny Colt and Steve Gorman. The difference shows. This is swampy, swaggering blues rock, guitars tangling and sparring, organ rolling underneath, the whole band leaning into the groove like it's past closing time. "Remedy" struts with gospel-soaked confidence, and "Thorn in My Pride" stretches out into a slow, simmering burn.
