The acoustic work is unpolluted and crisp. With less than a half-second separating each number, the CD spins effortlessly with transitional ease. It would be nearly impossible to pick a favorite cut from this collection of diverse material with such varied sounds from one track to the next. The CD opens with a heavy 70's inspired track, Midnight From The Inside Out . With ponderous drums and tumultuous guitars, this track is implicative to the music on Shake Your Money Maker .
Lions is a well-rounded and worthy recording with something for everyone.
It's just a shame it took the Black Crowes 10 years to get it right.
