Reminiscent of early Stones
I have to admit that in my five decades of being an adult I have never been in a smoky bar in Detroit (and in fact, a long time since I have seen a smoky bar anywhere) but I believe The Truth was a bit harsh about this cut. I liked it; it reminded me of some early Rolling Stones, e.g. Beast of Burden (1978), laced with some Eric Clapton, e.g. Cocaine (1977), and one can't very well argue with those successes.

Oh to be 'Jealous Again'
While I don't know the backstory behind this version of The Crowes' seminal 1990 song, it's still an interesting and worthwhile reinterpretation of the original studio release from 20(!) years ago (has it REALLY been that long already?). I do agree to a point with the first reviewer; the audio quality of this recording is--put politely--challenged, lending a quality more in line with a bootleg...or studio demo. But that's not really the point; more that this version is a reinterpretation of the more well-known, two decades old version from 'Shake Your Money Maker'. Whether recorded recently or somewhere along the 'ride' between then and now, for the price of entry (free, at the time of this review) this slightly more laid back version extremely hard to knock. No this recording is perhaps not as polished as the original, but the acoustical guitar intro is a nice counter to the electric original, and Chris Robinson's voice has never been stronger.

The only letdown is the quality of the recording within this MP3 file. Even my aged and well-traveled ears could appreciate a cleaner cut. But if you listen beyond the recording issues you'll find a worthwhile add for any Crowes fan, and a solid introduction for anyone not previously familiar to this classic southern American rock n' roll band. I believe a British mag once labeled The Black Crowes "the most rock n' roll Rock n' Roll band on Earth" (or something like that), and frankly this little gem of a performance does absolutely nothing to diminish that. Rock on, people.

Black Eye for this Black Crow
If this is a preemptive to the rest of the album, then the whole album must suck. This was not a good song. It sounds like they are in the back corner of some smoky bar in Detroit, wrapping up a sleepy night. The nearly non existent crowd sit lazily in their bar chairs, waiting to finish their last drink.
Rhythms were bad, and no cohesiveness to the mixes and runs.
