"She Talks to Angels" sits eighth on Shake Your Money Maker, the Black Crowes' 1990 debut, and went out as the album's fourth single in 1991, a slow, smoky ballad that shows the band could do hushed as well as they did rowdy. Chris Robinson wrote it with his brother Rich, and he later said it was loosely based on a goth girl he knew in Atlanta who was into heroin, which gives all that tenderness a haunted undertow.

Rich Robinson and Jeff Cease weave the guitars, Johnny Colt and Steve Gorman step lightly behind them, and Chris sings like he's trying not to wake someone. George Drakoulias produced, with Rick Rubin as executive producer and Brendan O'Brien engineering. It topped the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and reached number 30 on the Hot 100.
