Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

Pros: Great, gritty rock and roll.
Cons: Lyrics are weak in some instances.

Okay, I know some people will doubtlessly want to march out of the woodwork and revoke my license to music criticdom for saying what I'm about to say here. But I like the first two Black Crowes albums much better than any Rolling Stones album since Some ...

Pros: bluesy, gutsy, and full of cocky swagger
Cons: the lyrics aren't the best

The musical climate of 1990 was not exactly the best. Oh come on, you can argue all you want, but if someone is actually going to call Warrant good, well, no, I'm sorry, they weren't. Was Warrant a little fun? Sure, in the same way that...

Pros: Great classic rock music...
Cons: Too short.

The Black Crowes are a classic rock band. They fall neatly into the category despite the obvious fact that their debut was 1990's "Shake Your Moneymaker." Lead singer Chris Robinson blends the swagger and adrenaline of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler to...

Pros: Soulful, bluesy, rockin'; not one song is poor.
Cons: I'm still looking...too short maybe?

In my mind, this was the absolute perfect time that this album could have been released. It was released at a time when the music world was DEFINITELY in need. Sure, MTV was keeping busy, but we needed something real. Some quality rock music that ...

Pros: keeps sounding better to me, especially with the music climate the way it is today
Cons: very few- a little lacking in production as far as bass and drums go

Sandwiched between the waning heavy metal scene of the 80's and the soon to come alternative scene of the 90's was the Black Crowes debut. Released in 1990, the fact that this album was such a success is both surprising and amusing. It's true that this ...

Pros: The Black Crowes brought southern rock back into the mainstream
Cons: Their weakness is in the lyrics

I was rifling through my CDs this morning, looking for something good to listen to and possibly review on epinions. My fiance and I have so much music it's sometimes overwhelming to pick something to listen to. You would have to search every inch of our...

Pros: refreshing blend of blues, folk, and pure rock, energetic and powerful
Cons: only ten songs, takes awhile to get into it

The Black Crowes' debut effort 'Shake Your Moneymaker' is an excellent lesson to aspiring musicians on pure energy. Of course, 'Moneymaker' is the band's most well-known disc - containing not only 'Twice As Hard,' and 'She Talks To Angels,' but also...

Pros: energetic songs with catchy choruses
Cons: some tracks are much better than others

"Shake Your Moneymaker" was the Black Crowes debut release, and, in my opinion, their best. There are lots of great blues rock anthems here. A few of them, "Twice As Hard," and "Hard To Handle" became major radio...

Pros: Only the best good ol' rawk this side of the Stones...
Cons: ...lyrically weak, unlike anything by that group.

I was just listening to my Tom Petty CD, and I thought it would be cool to write an Epinions review of Shake Your Money Maker by the Black Crowes.

Not that listening to Tom Petty is in any way related to reviewing a Black Crowes CD, I...

Pros: It can get a place to rockin' !
Cons: A few of the deep cuts do sound if not disposable, at least generic

This is a great record, and not just because it brings back images of sweet Natalie shaking her moneymaker to this cd in the summer of '92. While all the other kids were jumping on the angst train with Cobaine, I was rocking out to this record.
...

Pros: Great Lyrics, all songs have a deep meaning to them.
Cons: none

The black crows are almost the greatest rock and roll band ever,and this album is truly what made people fall in love with this band. They have 10 awesome songs on this album which are : 1. Twice as Hard 2. Jealous Again 3. Sister Luck 4. Could ...
