By Your Side

The Black Crowes

High-octane blues rock saturated with gospel backing vocals and brass. A polished, punchy return to the band's swaggering, soulful roots.

It's the Black Crowes playing like they've got something to prove and a gospel choir to back them up.

A high-energy celebration of rock and soul that feels like a hard-won victory lap.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive slide guitar entry on Go Faster that sets the high-octane pace.

The soaring gospel choir breakdown during the bridge of Go Tell the Congregation.

The gritty, distorted wah-wah guitar riff that anchors the heavy groove of HorseHead.
