Shake Your Money Maker (2020 Remaster)

• Track Listing

Rock ’n’ roll—with a pinch of soul and a gallon of swagger—was back in a big way when the Robinson brothers took their band from Atlanta’s clubs to the national charts in 1990. Not only did their debut album rocket to #4, but it stayed on the charts for 165 weeks (!) as "Jealous Again" gave the band their first hit and "She Talks to Angels" and their unforgettable Otis Redding cover "Hard to Handle" gave them the smashes that sent the Black Crowes flying to stardom. "Shake Your Money Maker" sold more than five million copies then and returns now in fine 30th-anniversary form, newly remastered on CD or vinyl. The next step up is the 2-CD deluxe edition, which adds "Charming Mess," "30 Days in the Hole," "Don’t Wake Me," "Jealous Guy," "Hard to Handle" (With Horns Remix), "She Talks to Angels" (an acoustic version and an early demo from when the band was known as Mr. Crowe’s Garden) and more unreleased tracks and B-sides. Both super-deluxe editions (3 CDs or quadruple vinyl) take all that and add a previously unreleased 14-song Atlanta concert from December 1990: "Twice As Hard," "Hard to Handle," "Jealous Again," "Struttin’ Blues," "Sister Luck," "She Talks to Angels," "You’re Wrong," "Thick ’n’ Thin," "Shake ’Em On Down/Get Back" and more. Along with David Fricke liner notes, the super-deluxe editions include reproductions of an early Mr. Crowe’s Garden show flyer, set list and tour laminate plus a Black Crowes patch and 20-page book. One of the greatest debut albums in modern rock history is reborn in multiple anniversary editions, sounding as feisty and fresh as ever! American.
