5 out of 5 stars THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT BLACK CROWES ALBUM........2007-03-13

I will be writing a review on the legendary album entitled "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM" by one of Rock's greatest bands. I give you one of Georgia's pride and joy's, T-H-E B-L-A-C-K C-R-O-W-E-S. This legendary album was originally released in 1996 on Compact Disc on the American Recordings Records label. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

THE BLACK CROWES have now been entertaining us since 1990 with their smash albums such as the debut album "$HAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER," the follow-up album "THE SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION" from 1992 and "AMORICA" from 1994. In reality, all was well in THE BLACK CROWES world, living life to its fullest excesses and having a real good time. This time period was also another good time for THE BLACK CROWES or should I say, Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Steve Gorman, Johnny Colt, Marc Ford and Eddie Harsh to head back into the recording studio and record the follow-up album to the the extremely successful "AMORICA" album. After a certain period of time went by, THE BLACK CROWES would emerge from the recording studio with a completed album and hand it in to their American Recordings label. The album would be released and called "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM." This album is really good and does show some life and similarity to their other previous albums. However, "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM" is a little different from the other three albums in a sense that there is a lot more music contained on this album that is a little slower than usual. Despite that, the album still Rocks in more ways than one. In my opinion, "THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM" is another fine testament of the musical creativity of two extremely talented brothers and a fine fitting tribute to a great band that is working their way into legendary status.

Now it is time to let the music speak for itself and do all of the talking. This album begins with the incredible Southern Rocker "Under A Mountain," the slow and amazing "Good Friday," the killer Rocker "Nebakanezer," the merciless Rocker "One Mirror Too many," the breathtaking Rocker "Blackberry," the slow beautiful Country Rocker "Girl From A Pawnshop," the groundbreaking Rocker "(Only) Halfway To Everywhere," the slow beautiful acoustic Rocker "Bring On, Bring On," the beautiful acoustic number "How Much For Your Wings?," the fast paced Rocker "Let Me Share The Ride," another great Southern Rocker "Better When You're Not Alone" and the slow Rocker "Evil Eye." May I add the Chris Robinson's blistering lead vocals kick a*s the way a true frontman's singing is suppose to. Also both Rich's and Marc's guitar licks and riffs are played perfectly down to the bone.

Overall, this is a great album worth seeking further into and checking out especially if you are a devout or diehard BLACK CROWES collector. However, I recommend that all newcomers or new beginners to the sound and music of THE BLACK CROWES to buy their first three albums before proceeding in listening to this album.

I would like to highly recommend in purchasing this album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This album will definitely prove to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished by everyone for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great BLACK CROWES album that all devout BLACK CROWES collector's and diehard's would not want to be without.

In closing, THE BLACK CROWES are still burning hot on fire and still playing to sold out concerts the world over. THE BLACK CROWES would still record more great albums and record with one of their greatest idol's ever. Believe it or not, their best is still yet to come. With that in mind, there would be new stories in the BLACK CROWES legend that would still need to be conquered, told and written in new pages and chapter's. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further about at a later date. So here's to you Chris, Rich, Steve, Johnny, Marc and Eddie. Thanks for the memories and still more to come. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE BLACK CROWES RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In rock, John L.

5 out of 5 stars Rock 'N' Roll with Alot of Soul!!!.......2005-07-20

Another Great Black Crowes CD!!! This disk is filled with great tracks! "Good Friday, One Mirror Too Many, Blackberry, (Only) Halfway To Everywhere, Bring On Bring On, How Much For Your Wings?, Let Me Share The Ride, Better When You're Not Alone" and the list goes on... Every Track has Soul and filled with Rock 'N' Roll. What other band can do this??? You will not be disappointed with this CD. It is just AWESOME!!!

2 out of 5 stars Not for most listeners.......2005-06-08

I see more copies of this Crowes album in the used CD stores than any other.

The hard core Crowes' cadre may love this album, but most people won't find this one reachable. I'll agree with the other reviewers that the album seems more subdued. If you like the hard rocking sound of the Crowes on the radio, one of the other releases will probably be a better starting place.

4 out of 5 stars Add a half when it grows on you........2005-06-03

Still with their ultimate lineup (C. Robinson, R. Robinson, Marc Ford, Steve Gorman, Eddie Harsch and Johnny Colt) intact after making two masterpieces, the Black Crowes made Three Snakes. As such, the playing on the album is top notch again. The feel of the album is a little less aggressive than Amorica, but there are plenty of rockin tunes.

This seems to be the "grower" in the Crowes catalog, where it takes a while for songs to assert themselves. While that's often a more rewarding thing than the opposite (an album that feels immediately familiar, but lacks longevity), the songs do suffer slightly from a lack of strong hooks and come off a little dry at times. The ballads, such as the pretty Girl From a Pawnshop and odd How Much For Your Wings? break away from the pack easiest and all the songs become rewarding in time. This was the third and last album from the band with this lineup, and during that time noone else in rock and roll was better.

5 out of 5 stars Crucial Crowes Listening.......2005-03-31

OK, so you call yourself a Crowes fan because you like "Remedy" and "Hard To Handle"? Well, dig a little deeper and start with this disc. It's got some absolutely crucial Crowes songs that are standouts in their catalog or in concert. I hate to bash other's reviews but this disc is not overly noisy, it's just a little different- in fact, it's somewhat quiet in many parts. Chris' vocals are top-notch here, and never rambling or over-bearing as he can sometimes be. Overall it's got a vibe of "understanding" to it... something they desperately tried NOT to have with the free-wheeling, bad-assness of "Amorica". Understanding is NOT a bad thing here at all folks, so enjoy the whole disc as one, as it is THE most over-looked in their catalog.

1) Under A Mountain- 10/10 Typical great lead-off song about coming to grips with love and/or sex. Smooth guitars layer a slow steady vibe. Drums rock out nicely behind it all.

2) Good Friday- 10/10 One of my fav Crowes songs of all time. Heard them play this song LIVE on the actual Good Friday in an old church, so maybe I'm partial, but this might be the coolest break-up song ever. But not a wussy break-up point of view either, which is cool.

3) Nebakenezer- 10/10 Cool riff. Great drums. Vox are money. It's LOUD! And it's a bout drugs. What more could you ask for?

4) One Mirror Too Many- 8.5/10 Another drug warning. Looks like the boys are learning from their days of growing beards and dropping out on drugs (not that that was ever too bad for them musically)

5) Blackberry- 8/10 Easy to dismiss this one since it was the single, but a cool song. Funky. Chris' raspy vocals call back to the days of "Sometimes Salvation"

6) Girl From A Pawnshop- 9.5/10 Can almost picture him in a country bar singing this one. Cool story about a girl and a letter and the reality surrounding her while reading it. Ending is stellar.

7) (Only)Halfway To Everywhere- 8/10 Funky. Weird vocal effects. Upbeat. Could have easily ended up on Amorica. Got some horns from the Dirty Dozen helping out.

8) Bring On, Bring On- 8/10 Acoutic heavy. Gospel type chorus. OK on it's own... but sets up the next song rather well, which is...

9) How Much For Your Wings 10/10 Another acoustic tune that gets interrupted monetarily by some drums/ guitar and hand-clapping. Certainly nothing for some readers to moan about. Killer guitar that somehow is uplifting even though it deals with the sadness of loss. Brother Rich helps out on the vocals trading off behind Chris's singing of the verses.

10) Let Me Share The Ride- 7.5/10 Pretty standard road song. Sort of out of place at this point in the disc.

11) Better When You're Not Alone- 9.5/10 Seems like it would have fit perfect behind "Wings". Praises the joys of love and how it makes their world better. Never corny, just honest. Good upbeat ending.

12) Evil Eye- 10/10 Wow... What to say aboiut this song. Lyrics make you re-think you're whole outlook and disposition on love, beliefs, life and the world around you. Piercing guitar on top of some awesome drumming. Lyric: "Do you have in you to even try?" That should also be said for this whole album. Do try it!

    1 out of 5 stars Noisy and annoying!.......2003-02-04

    Hmmm, Black Crowes...well...
    To me, and obviously to a lot of other people, Black Crowes music is very influenced by Rolling Stones but Stones have something that Black Crowes lack - it takes more than pot, attitude and a slobby approach to be a rock and roll band. Of course they managed to perform one or two great numbers every once in a while, but mostly it's rather boring and the vocals can really annoy you. This release includes NO great tune at all, the only decent one is "Just say you're sorry". The rest is awful!

    Once I had four Black Crowes albums. First I sold "Amorica", and now is this one "Three snakes..." in the pile for cd's to be sold. That leaves me with "The southern harmony..." and "By your side"...for the moment...

    4 out of 5 stars Better than most people give it credit for.......2002-06-24

    THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM once again show the BLACK CROWES evolving their sound, while still being able to still show their influences. Yes, it does sound different than their first two albums, but different doesnt mean worse. Yes, you have to give this album a few listens to get used to it, but I think thats what makes this album good. UNDER A MOUNTAIN and GOOD FRIDAY, help to start the album off. These songs are slow with some good melodies and I think that Chris Robinson's vocals sound real well on this songs. GOOD FRIDAY just might be the best song from this album. NEBERKANEZER has a rough sounding, rockin beat that rocks. Another hit. ONE MIRROR TOO MANY, and BLACKBERRY are just straight rockin songs that are also hits. GIRL FROM A PAWNSHOP is another ballad type song that once again shows off the vocal abilities. I also like the organ playing on this one, way to go Ed!!! I also recommend that you give a listen to (ONLY) HALFWAY TO EVERYWHERE, BRING ON, BRING ON, LET ME SHARE THE RIDE, BETTER WHEN YOURE NOT ALONE, and the bonus tracks JUST SAY YOURE SORRY and MELOW DOWN EASY. Out of the 14 songs, there were only a couple that I couldnt really get into, but this is still a great album and it does deserve some merit.

    5 out of 5 stars No Disappointment Here...........2001-06-16

    I dont understand why so many people and critics give this album down the road. This is a terrific album and is a great contrast to the big hits of the earlier Southern Harmony... Whats wrong with a band changing up their sound a little. Anyway the album opens with a great song in Under a Mountain. My favorite on the cd is Girl from a Pawnshop. Overall, a great cd and really shows how creative musically the Black Crowes really are. I recommend this to all Black Crowes fans that need something different from the Crowes or just any classic rock fan.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent stuff.......2001-05-09

    Why this album is often reviled is beyond me as "ThreeSnakes" is a [great] album, second only in the Crowes catalog to "Southern Harmony" (An absolutely perfect album). While this disc is jammier and looser than other Crowes affairs, the songs are full of emotion. This album is similar in style to "Amorica" & like that album showcases the band's divergent styles & influences, but "Three Snakes" has much more warmth & vitality. The songs here feature sprawling arrangements, but the interplay between Chris & Rich Robinson is still the focus. I can't recommend this album enough, especially with the inclusion of the "bonus" tracks (Just Say You're Sorry, Mellow Down Easy), both of which rank among the best Crowes' numbers.

    3 out of 5 stars Black Crowes Lite.......2001-02-05

    I call this album Black Crowes Lite. If you don't compare to what came before, you'll love it. It's without a doubt, a worthwhile album and perhaps a bit of a breather.

    Standout tunes include the soulful "Good Friday," and the zen "How Much for Your Wings." Everything that we love about the Black Crowes is apparent in these songs, but they are taken down a notch or two from the hard rocking "Southern Harmony.." For those that feel that the Crowes strayed too far from their roots on "Three Snakes...," I would like to direct them to track #7, the funkadellic "Halfway to Everywhere," or "Let Me Share the Ride," which stay very true to the stylings of "Shake Your Money Maker" and previous albums.

    I give "Three Snakes.." 4 stars because it's definitely Black Crowes Lite. I suppose lite is better than fat-free, but it still doesn't taste quite the same.

    THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM once again show the BLACK CROWES evolving their sound, while still being able to still show their influences. Yes, it does sound different than their first two albums, but different doesnt mean worse. Yes, you have to give this album a few listens to get used to it, but I think thats what makes this album good. UNDER A MOUNTAIN and GOOD FRIDAY, help to start the album off. These songs are slow with some good melodies and I think that Chris Robinson's vocals sound real well on this songs. GOOD FRIDAY just might be the best song from this album. NEBERKANEZER has a rough sounding, rockin beat that rocks. Another hit. ONE MIRROR TOO MANY, and BLACKBERRY are just straight rockin songs that are also hits. GIRL FROM A PAWNSHOP is another ballad type song that once again shows off the vocal abilities. I also like the organ playing on this one, way to go Ed!!! I also recommend that you give a listen to (ONLY) HALFWAY TO EVERYWHERE, BRING ON, BRING ON, LET ME SHARE THE RIDE, BETTER WHEN YOURE NOT ALONE, and the bonus tracks JUST SAY YOURE SORRY and MELOW DOWN EASY. Out of the 14 songs, there were only a couple that I couldnt really get into, but this is still a great album and it does deserve some merit.

    5 out of 5 stars No Disappointment Here...........2001-06-16

    I dont understand why so many people and critics give this album down the road. This is a terrific album and is a great contrast to the big hits of the earlier Southern Harmony... Whats wrong with a band changing up their sound a little. Anyway the album opens with a great song in Under a Mountain. My favorite on the cd is Girl from a Pawnshop. Overall, a great cd and really shows how creative musically the Black Crowes really are. I recommend this to all Black Crowes fans that need something different from the Crowes or just any classic rock fan.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent stuff.......2001-05-09

    Why this album is often reviled is beyond me as "ThreeSnakes" is a [great] album, second only in the Crowes catalog to "Southern Harmony" (An absolutely perfect album). While this disc is jammier and looser than other Crowes affairs, the songs are full of emotion. This album is similar in style to "Amorica" & like that album showcases the band's divergent styles & influences, but "Three Snakes" has much more warmth & vitality. The songs here feature sprawling arrangements, but the interplay between Chris & Rich Robinson is still the focus. I can't recommend this album enough, especially with the inclusion of the "bonus" tracks (Just Say You're Sorry, Mellow Down Easy), both of which rank among the best Crowes' numbers.

    3 out of 5 stars Black Crowes Lite.......2001-02-05

    I call this album Black Crowes Lite. If you don't compare to what came before, you'll love it. It's without a doubt, a worthwhile album and perhaps a bit of a breather.

    Standout tunes include the soulful "Good Friday," and the zen "How Much for Your Wings." Everything that we love about the Black Crowes is apparent in these songs, but they are taken down a notch or two from the hard rocking "Southern Harmony.." For those that feel that the Crowes strayed too far from their roots on "Three Snakes...," I would like to direct them to track #7, the funkadellic "Halfway to Everywhere," or "Let Me Share the Ride," which stay very true to the stylings of "Shake Your Money Maker" and previous albums.

    I give "Three Snakes.." 4 stars because it's definitely Black Crowes Lite. I suppose lite is better than fat-free, but it still doesn't taste quite the same.

    1 out of 5 stars Noisy and annoying!.......2003-02-04

    Hmmm, Black Crowes...well...
    To me, and obviously to a lot of other people, Black Crowes music is very influenced by Rolling Stones but Stones have something that Black Crowes lack - it takes more than pot, attitude and a slobby approach to be a rock and roll band. Of course they managed to perform one or two great numbers every once in a while, but mostly it's rather boring and the vocals can really annoy you. This release includes NO great tune at all, the only decent one is "Just say you're sorry". The rest is awful!

      5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous!.......1999-10-24

      This collection of song cycles is simply beautiful. Collected from Finno-Ugric peoples around the Baltic sea area, near Tormis' homeland of Estonia, the songs range from complex arrangements to snippets. Most of the peoples represented on the disk (the Livonians, Karelians, Ingrians, etc.) are dying out, and their languages are almost dead as well. Tormis' beautiful choral arrangements awaken the need to preserve these cultures, and are especially meaningful to anyone with Finno-Ugric heritage. Get the 2-CD set if possible -- it's definitely worth it.
