I fee exactly as Dave. They use expensive vintage equipment, so yea the tone is good. At first I was like wjhose this. But then, every song just goes down hill. These guys dont really “have it” like Beck, ZZ top, and countless blues cats.

The thing is anyone can afford a guitar and a tascam, and if you have a basement your are half way there. Except one thing, individual talent. The Black Crowes are the real deal.

All the bands that form as friends, usually suck. Take a band like Zep, where Page scouted for the best pro individual players, and this is how the British Invasion happened where band membership was thought out. Skynrd formed as friends,m but in this case they were super talented, but it does not happen often.
The jam bands today are good, but the songwriting is not.
Basically, music has been in the decline since 1987.
All those alt bands from the 90′s , while some songs were good, the playing was not,Where are the new bands of today who can compare to Rush and Yes, Van Halen?? Its because the influences of kids today ware Nirvana and not Buddy Holly and Big Boonzy, Muddy Waters etc,.
Its also because nobody can arrange music today. The old cats who were instrumental in developing all those old bands are gone. The kids at these labels (which are all sinking) know sqat about music. Also, Fleet Fox is no CSN

Thanks for the trolling, DaveL.

We all know the Keys have talent. Even you, I suspect.

Calling these guys a Blues-Rock Band has to be the biggest insult to real guitar players worldwide…Call them “Alternative” because musicians expect the players of this style to have a couple of catchy little vocal melodies but suck big-time as players… Anything else… but please do not call them Blues-Rock Musicians…They are some idiot producer’s abortion successfully fooling those that don’t know better into thinking they are talented…

This debut has well crafted and experimental guitar and bass layers that I have never heard before, complimented by Silva’s velvety voice and wayout surrealist lyrics.
