I have a music hipster reputation to uphold. I may be losing some points with the Williamsburg kiddies with this one but I love, love, love the newish solo record from the Black Crowes' former lead man Chris Robinson. "New Earth Mud" has Robinson rediscovering his soul/country roots and losing some of the overbearing southern rock that marred some of the later Crowes records.
So, uh, check it out. I won't tell.
Oh, and I also still love "Shake Your Money Maker." I'm hopeless.
