If you know me you know I don’t like greatest hits albums. Many times anyone who cares enough about a group or artist already has all of the greatest hits as released on previous albums. Making things more annoying for me is when there is one or two new, good songs on a greatest hits album, thus forcing the dedicated fan to buy an album of material they already own to get one song. You would also know that I do not like to buy singles from itunes and such. My favorite way to experience music is as an entire album on vinyl. All of this leads to frustration when a band I like puts out a “best of” album
This brings me to the latest release from The Black Crowes. They have previously released greatest hits albums, boxed sets and such. This time they set up and recorded acoustic versions of all the songs on this best of album which is entitled “Croweology”. It is often good to hear songs reworked and if you are as in-the-zone as The Black Crowes always seem to be it is definitely good.
Sample some reworked glory:

Clearly, I highly recommend that you go get it and get it in vinyl.
