Shake your money maker

"The Black Crowes' debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, may borrow heavily from the bluesy hard rock grooves of the Rolling Stones and Faces (plus a bit of classic soul), but the band gets away with it due to sharp songwriting and an ear for strong riffs and chorus melodies, not to mention the gritty, muscular rhythm guitar of Rich Robinson and brother Chris' appropriate vocal swagger".

"The Black Crowes' classic debut album ... Released on Rick Rubin's Def American label, and produced expertly by Rubin's right-hand man George Drakoulias, Shake Your Money Maker was an anomaly in an era when hair-metal was still big business and alternative rock was on the rise. The Crowes had a sound that was both all-American and evocative of the great British groups that had channelled American rock'n'roll, blues and soul in the late 60s and early 70s, notably the Rolling Stones, the Faces and Humble Pie".

"... their seismic, five million-selling debut, masterfully produced ... a gutsy stramash of good (and bad) time rock'n'roll".
