A blues-influenced rock band from Georgia? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! So anyway, these guys are awesome. If you're a fan of The Allman Brothers Band, you'll love them. But don't think they're exactly like the Allman Bros. just 'cause I said that. Their brand of rock is harder than the Allman Bros. in my opinion. Nonetheless, amazing guitar and solid bass make up the most memorable part of their music. The drums are nothing special to write about for the most part, but are definitely a key element in their music. The melodies go from lovely keyboard/piano parts (I can't tell which and I'm too lazy to do adequate research) to intense guitar solos. I can't think of a good way to describe the vocals...they're similar to Allman Bros. (both from Georgia; what do you expect?) only not quite as pronounced of an accent. There are also female back up vocals and/or harmonies in many of their songs.
To sum it all up and put a positive spin on it: you would be hard-pressed to find a band that combines hard rock guitar, piano, southern vocals, and great lyrics in a way that even comes close to Black Crowes. With that in mind, check out Remedy and Hard to Handle.
