"Remedy" sits second on The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, the Black Crowes' second album, from 1992, and it's the Robinson brothers at full strut: Chris and Rich wrote it, Chris sings it, and Rich and Marc Ford lock their guitars into a greasy hard-rock groove while Johnny Colt, Steve Gorman and Eddie Harsch's keyboards keep the whole thing swinging. George Drakoulias produced it with the band, with Brendan O'Brien engineering.

Chris said it was a song about freedom, his answer to a war on drugs he thought was silly. Pete Angelus directed the video, which MTV had in heavy rotation by that June. It sat on top of Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart for 11 weeks and became the band's biggest UK hit, reaching 24.
